Ingredients

  • 500 g ground pork
  • 200 g carrots (about 2 large)
  • 100 g shrimp
  • 30 g garlic (about 7 cloves)
  • 130 g onion (about 2 medium)
  • 30 g green onions (about 1 cup)
  • 1 pork broth cube
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • ½ tsp salt, or to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • About 75 lumpia wrappers
  • Cooking oil, for deep-frying
  • Vinegar, for extra crispiness (optional)

How to Make It

  1. Cook the filling briefly to remove excess moisture, then cool completely.
  2. Place a small amount of filling near one edge of each wrapper and roll tightly.
  3. Seal with cornstarch slurry.
  4. Fry in batches until evenly golden and crisp.
  5. Drain on a wire rack to keep the lumpia crunchy.
