Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground pork or 1 pound ground beef of 1/2 pound each
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 4-6 cloves garlic, crushed and diced
- ½ cup minced carrots
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- ½ cup thinly sliced green cabbage
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Mrs Dash Garlic a& Herb
- 1/2 teaspoon Mrs Dash Extra Spicy
- 1+ teaspoon soy sauce, or as needed
- 30 lumpia wrappers
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
- All Ingredients need to be very finely diced/minced.
- Use the course side of a cheese grater to dice/mince or shred the carrots. I found it was easier than using a knife to cut them up.
- Chop the remaining vegetables finely
- Heat the 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil in a large frying pan and cook the pork thoroughly, so no pink is visible. Chop the meat as it is cooking to make it into fine crumbles.
- Add the spices and salt & pepper to the cooking meat.
- Remove the meat to a separate plate and leave some of the fat behind, or add more vegetable oil to saute the onions, carrots and garlic first, then add the remaining ingredients.
- Add the meat back to the pan and mix thoroughly.
- Add the raisins and soy sauce and cook an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Place the Lumpia wrapper so that one of the corners is pointing toward you.
- Add about 2 Tablespoons of the filling to the corner area of the Lumpia Wrapper. Fold the sides toward the middle and roll the Lumpia wrapper. The last 1/4th of the wrapper moisten your finger in a cup of water to smooth some on the wrapper and finish rolling it up. This causes the wrapper to seal the edges.
- While rolling the Lumpia, pour approx 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large pot to get it hot.
- Using tongs, place about 5-6 Lumpia wrappers in the hot oil, with the seams down and roll over after about 30 seconds depending on how hot your oil is. The hotter the better! You can see how fast the wrappers are cooking. You want them a golden brown and it is easy to over cook them.
- Remove and place on paper towels to absorb the oil.
- Wait about 1 minute or two until the oil heats back up and add 5-6 more Lumpia to the hot oil.
- Repeat the process until all wrappers are cooked.
- Eat when hot and the wrapper is nice and crispy.
- The wrappers will become soggy after they cool. Reheat in a frying pan turning constantly.
- Use sweet and sour sauce or sweet chile sauce or a orange sauce for dipping.
