Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground pork, 1 grated medium carrot, 1 finely chopped small onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 chopped green onions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
2. Step 2: Lay out one lumpia wrapper and place 2 tbsp of the pork mixture near one corner. Fold the corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and tightly roll up to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Step 3: In a deep skillet, heat 2 cups vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (about 350°F). Fry lumpia in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
4. Step 4: For the dipping sauce, whisk together 1/4 cup white vinegar, 2 tbsp water, 1 tsp granulated sugar, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.
5. Step 5: Serve the lumpia hot with the garlic-vinegar dipping sauce on the side.
