Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 small finely chopped onion, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb ground pork, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 medium shredded carrot, 1/2 cup finely chopped green beans, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook for another 4 minutes until vegetables soften. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. Step 4: Lay 1 lumpia wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tbsp filling near one corner, fold the corner over the filling, fold the sides inward, and roll tightly to seal. Dab 2 tbsp water along the edge to secure. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. Step 5: In a deep pan, heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry lumpia in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Step 6: For the dipping sauce, combine 2 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp white vinegar, and 1 tsp sugar in a small bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  7. Step 7: Serve lumpia hot with the garlic soy dipping sauce.

Frequently asked questions

How do I store leftover Pork and Vegetable Lumpia with Garlic Soy Dipping Sauce?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep ground pork from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Pork and Vegetable Lumpia with Garlic Soy Dipping Sauce?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Pork and Vegetable Lumpia with Garlic Soy Dipping Sauce for a different number of people?
