How to Make Authentic Lumpia

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 1/2 cup finely chopped carrots, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped cabbage, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix thoroughly.
2. If possible, source lumpia wrappers from an Asian grocery store for optimal results. Alternatively, spring roll wrappers can be used.
3. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
4. Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each lumpia wrapper. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Moisten the top edge with water to seal.
5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat (approximately 350°F).
6. Carefully place the lumpia in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
7. Remove the lumpia from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
8. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce: sweet and sour sauce, a mixture of crushed garlic and vinegar, or even a spicy sriracha mayo!
