Instructions

1. Step 1: Peel and finely dice 1 small onion and mince 3 garlic cloves. Peel and julienne 1 medium carrot into thin matchsticks. Trim and finely chop 1/2 cup green beans.
2. Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Sauté diced onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
3. Step 3: Add 1 lb ground pork to the skillet and cook, breaking up the meat, for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
4. Step 4: Stir in julienned carrot, chopped green beans, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook for 4 minutes until vegetables soften but still have a slight crunch. Remove filling from heat and let cool.
5. Step 5: Lay out one spring roll wrapper, place about 2 tbsp of filling near one corner. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold sides inward and roll tightly. Seal the edge with 1 tsp water. Repeat for remaining wrappers.
6. Step 6: Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 350°F). Fry lumpia in batches for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.
7. Step 7: Drain on paper towels and serve hot with sweet chili sauce or vinegar dipping sauce.
