๐ Prep Time: 20 minutes
๐ Cook Time: 3 minutes
๐ Total Time: 23 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 lumpia skins
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/2 onion
- 1/3 green bell pepper
- 1/3 carrot
- 1/3 cup water
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, finely diced onion, green bell pepper, and grated carrot. Mix well until evenly blended.
-
Fill the Lumpia Wrappers:
- Place about 2 teaspoons of the meat mixture along the center of each lumpia wrapper. Be careful not to overfill, as it may cause the wrapper to tear during frying.
-
Roll the Lumpia:
- Fold one edge of the lumpia wrapper over the filling to form a tight cylinder. Then, fold in the sides to seal the edges. Roll the lumpia tightly until fully wrapped.
-
Seal the Edges:
- Use a small amount of water to moisten the edge of the wrapper, then press firmly to seal. This will prevent the lumpia from unraveling during frying.
-
Fry the Lumpia:
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat until it reaches 365 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Carefully place 3-4 lumpia into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
-
Cook Until Golden Brown:
- Fry the lumpia for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip them halfway through cooking for even browning.
-
Drain and Serve:
- Once cooked, transfer the fried lumpia to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the Filipino lumpia hot and crispy, alongside your favorite dipping sauces such as sweet chili sauce or vinegar with garlic and chili. Enjoy these delicious treats as an appetizer, snack, or party finger food!
