Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 1 medium grated carrot, 1 small chopped onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 sliced green onions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until combined.
2. Step 2: Lay out 1 lumpia wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place about 2 tbsp of pork mixture near the corner closest to you. Roll tightly halfway, fold in the sides, then continue rolling to seal the edges with a dab of water.
3. Step 3: Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok to 350°F. Fry lumpia rolls in batches, turning occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until wrappers are golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
4. Step 4: For the dipping sauce, combine 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes in a small bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves.
5. Step 5: Serve hot lumpia rolls with the sweet vinegar dipping sauce on the side.
