Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Filipino Lumpia.
Step 1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and setting up a clean workspace to ensure a smooth cooking experience.
Step 2
In a wok or large skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over high heat.
Step 3
Add the ground pork, stirring frequently until it becomes crumbly and loses its pink color, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
Once cooked, remove the pork from the pan, draining any excess grease while leaving a light coating for flavor.
Step 5
Next, toss in the chopped onion and crushed garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until the aroma fills the air.
Step 6
Return the cooked pork to the pan and mix in the minced carrots, chopped green onions, sliced cabbage, and optional cilantro.
Step 7
Season this delightful mixture with ground black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and soy sauce.
Step 8
Remove from heat and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 9
To assemble your lumpia, take a wrapper and place three heaping tablespoons of the filling diagonally near one corner, leaving a 1 ½ inch space at both ends.
Step 10
Fold the side of the wrapper over the filling, tuck in the ends, and roll tightly to seal, moistening the edge with water to secure it.
Step 11
Arrange the rolled lumpia on a plate and cover with plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
Step 12
In a heavy skillet, heat half an inch of vegetable oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Step 13
Carefully slide 3 to 4 lumpia into the hot oil, ensuring the seams are facing down.
Step 14
Fry them, turning occasionally, until they achieve a golden brown hue on all sides, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 15
Once done, transfer the crispy lumpia to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 16
Repeat this process with the remaining lumpia.
Step 17
Serve your golden, crispy lumpia immediately and savor the deliciousness!.
