Pork Lumpia

A flavourful, crispy pork lumpia recipe.

• Preparation Time: 1 hour
• Cooking Time: 20 minutes
• Servings: 30 lumpia

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil
• ½ cup finely chopped yellow onion
• ½ cup finely chopped green onion
• 1 pound ground pork
• ½ cup grated carrots, squeezed of excess moisture
• ½ cup finely chopped green cabbage
• 1 tablespoon garlic paste
• 1 tablespoon ginger paste
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 30 lumpia wrappers
• 1 egg, beaten

Recipe

1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok, and add the yellow onion. Cook a couple minutes, then add the green onion and stir.
2. Add the pork and cook, breaking up as you go, just until the pink color is gone. Add the carrot and cabbage and mix.
3. Clear out the center and add the garlic and ginger paste. When fragrant, stir it in along with the soy, salt, pepper and cilantro. Mix well and let cool.
4. Place a wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing towards you. Add about 2 tablespoons of the mix about ⅓ of the way up, fold over the filling with the bottom point, bring in the sides to overlap, then roll away from you (keeping it snug). Brush a little of the beaten egg on the top corner before sealing tight.
5. Heat an inch of oil in a pot to 350°F. Gently add the lumpia and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown.
6. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, and repeat with remaining lumpia.
