Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground pork, 1 medium finely grated carrot, 1 small finely chopped onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 chopped green onions. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
2. Step 2: Lay one lumpia wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture near one corner. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold the sides in, and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Step 3: Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (around 350°F). Fry lumpia in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels before serving.
