A crispy and savory Filipino egg roll recipe featuring a juicy ground pork filling wrapped in thin lumpia wrappers, perfect for family gatherings and easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground pork, preferably lean but with some fat for juiciness
  • 1 medium carrot, finely grated or minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • About 30 lumpia wrappers (Filipino-style or spring roll wrappers)
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, grated carrot, chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced green onions.
  2. Add soy sauce, salt, pepper, and beaten egg. Mix well until fully combined, about 5 minutes.
  3. Set up a rolling station with lumpia wrappers covered with a damp cloth and a small bowl of water for sealing edges.
  4. Place one lumpia wrapper with one corner pointed towards you. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling near the corner closest to you.
  5. Fold the corner over the filling, fold the two sides in snugly, then roll tightly towards the far corner.
  6. Moisten the tip with water to seal the roll. Repeat until all filling and wrappers are used.
  7. Pour 2-3 inches of vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or wok and heat to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Fry 6-8 lumpia at a time for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let oil return to temperature before frying next batch.
  10. Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce, banana ketchup, or preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

Keep lumpia wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying. Seal edges with water, not egg wash. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for best crispiness. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
