Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, mix 1 lb ground pork with 1 finely grated carrot, 1 small finely chopped onion, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 sliced green onions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Lay out one lumpia wrapper on a flat surface. Place 2 tbsp of the pork mixture near one corner, spreading into a thin line about 3 inches long.
  3. Step 3: Roll the wrapper tightly over the filling, fold the edges in, and continue rolling to form a cigar shape. Seal the edge with a dab of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange lumpia on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each lumpia lightly with 2 tbsp vegetable oil to encourage crisping.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp. Serve hot with 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce for dipping.
