Ingredients for Baked Lumpia Rolls

  • Ground Lean Pork
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • Water Chestnuts
  • 1/2 cup chopped bamboo shoots
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Fresh Ginger
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • Black Pepper
  • Wonton Wrapper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • Distilled White Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger

How to Make Baked Lumpia Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 1 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts, 1/2 cup chopped bamboo shoots, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Stir the mixture until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight for optimal flavor (optional).
  3. Lay out approximately 10 lumpia wrappers at a time on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture onto the center of each wrapper.
  4. Roll the mixture tightly into cigar shapes, about the thickness of your finger and the length of the wrapper. Brush the ends with beaten egg to seal.
  5. Place the lumpia seam-side down on a baking sheet. Repeat until all the filling is used.
  6. Bake in a preheated 450°F (232°C) oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wrappers are golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
  7. Serve hot! Enjoy these delicious lumpia immediately.
  8. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 4 weeks.
  9. To reheat, bake on a baking sheet in a 450°F (232°C) oven for 10 minutes, turning once.
  10. **Dipping Sauce:** In a 3-quart saucepan, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce.
  11. Stir over high heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water. Add this mixture to the saucepan and stir until the sauce boils and thickens.
  13. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of grated ginger.
  14. This makes about 2/3 cup of dipping sauce. Double the recipe if needed.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
