Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, mix 1 pound ground pork, 1 grated medium carrot, 1 small chopped onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup sliced green onions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until well combined.
Step 2: Lay one lumpia wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place 2 tbsp filling near the corner closest to you, shape into a log.
Step 3: Fold the corner over the filling, then fold the left and right corners towards the center, and tightly roll upwards. Seal the edge with 1 tbsp water to prevent opening during frying.
Step 4: Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (about 350°F).
Step 5: Fry the lumpia in batches, turning occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until wrappers are golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels before serving warm.
