Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 1 medium grated carrot, 1 small chopped onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup chopped green beans, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Mix thoroughly.
- Step 2: Place one lumpia wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tbsp of the pork mixture near one edge, fold edges and roll tightly to form a cylinder. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
- Step 3: Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Fry lumpia rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Step 4: For dipping sauce, combine 1/2 cup white vinegar, 2 tbsp sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 tsp red chili flakes in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stir until sugar dissolves, then cool to room temperature.
- Step 5: Serve lumpia hot with the sweet-spicy vinegar sauce.
