Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup chopped green beans
- 1 cup chopped cabbage
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 pack lumpia wrapper
- 1 egg, beaten
- Oil for frying
Special equipment needed:
- Large skillet or wok
- Mixing bowl
- Pastry brush
- Deep fryer or frying pan
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large skillet or wok, cook the ground pork over medium heat until browned.
2. Add the chopped carrots, onions, green beans, and cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are coated and the sauce has thickened.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.
5. To assemble the lumpia, lay a lumpia wrapper on a flat surface and place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Fold the bottom of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold the sides in and roll the lumpia tightly. Use the beaten egg to seal the edge of the wrapper.
6. Repeat with the remaining lumpia wrappers and filling.
7. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or frying pan to 350°F. Fry the lumpia in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the lumpia from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
9. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
