Equipment

  • large pan or deep fryer

Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground pork
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 medium onions finely minced
  • 2 carrots finely diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

Lumpia Wrappers & Oil:

  • 50 pieces of lumpia wrappers
  • 3 cups vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of preparing this delightful dish.

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  • Start by gathering all your filling ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, minced onions, diced carrots, and chopped parsley.
  • Next, add in the eggs, garlic powder, sesame oil, soy sauce, sea salt, black pepper, and white pepper. Mix everything well until it’s uniformly combined. Don’t be afraid to get your hands in there!

Step 2: Assemble the Lumpia

  • Take a lumpia wrapper and lay it on a clean surface. Spoon about two tablespoons of the filling into the center.
  • Make sure not to overfill; it needs room to roll. Fold the sides toward the center and roll tightly, sealing the last edge with a bit of water. Repeat this until all wrappers and filling are used up.

Step 3: Heat the Oil

  • In a large pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. You want enough oil for deep frying, usually about two inches deep. To test if the oil is ready, throw in a small piece of wrapper; if it bubbles and rises, you’re good to go.

Step 4: Fry the Lumpia

  • Carefully place a few lumpia in the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn them gently to ensure even cooking. Remove from heat and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Serve the lumpia hot and crispy, accompanied by dipping sauces of your choice. Watching everyone enjoy the fruits of your labor is rewarding. Savor the moment!

Notes

To enhance your lumpia-making experience, keep these handy tips in mind:
  • Don’t Skip the Drain: Allow the fried lumpia to sit on paper towels to absorb excess oil. This keeps them crunchy and not greasy.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling a day in advance and keep it refrigerated. Just wrap and fry when you’re ready!
  • Experiment with Fillings: Toss in some shredded cabbage or bean sprouts for a different texture.
  • Maintain Oil Temperature: Keep an eye on the oil temperature by adjusting the heat as needed. If it gets too hot, the lumpia may burn.
  • Use Fresh Wrappers: Fresh lumpia wrappers yield the best results. If they feel dry, spritz them lightly with water.
