Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground pork, 1 medium grated carrot, 1 small finely chopped onion, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until evenly mixed.
Step 2: Lay one spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture near one corner. Roll tightly, folding in the sides, and seal the edge with 1 tablespoon of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 350°F). Fry the lumpia rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes each, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Remove lumpia with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
