Instructions
- 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.
- Step 2: Add 1 lb ground pork, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Step 7: Serve lumpia hot with the garlic soy dipping sauce.
Frequently asked questions
How long does Pork and Vegetable Lumpia with Garlic Soy Dipping Sauce take to make?
Total time is about 45 minutes (30 min prep + 15 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.
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.
