A quick and easy recipe for crispy Filipino spring rolls filled with savory ground pork and fresh vegetables, perfect for snacks or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground pork
  • 1 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 3 stalks green onions, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup bean sprouts, drained (optional)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pack spring roll wrappers (about 30 sheets), thin and square
  • Vegetable oil for frying (canola or peanut oil recommended)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped carrots, green onions, minced garlic, chopped onion, and drained bean sprouts if using.
  2. Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly but gently to avoid tough filling.
  3. Lay out spring roll wrappers on a clean surface and keep a small bowl of water nearby to moisten edges for sealing.
  4. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near one corner of a wrapper. Fold the corner over the filling, fold in the sides tightly, and roll towards the opposite corner to form a tight cylinder. Seal the edge with water.
  5. Pour 2-3 inches of vegetable oil into a wok or deep pan and heat to 350°F (175°C). Test oil temperature by dropping a small piece of wrapper; it should sizzle and rise quickly.
  6. Fry lumpia in batches, avoiding overcrowding, for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Remove lumpia with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let cool for a couple of minutes to crisp up further.
  8. Serve hot with dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce or vinegar with crushed garlic.

Notes

Keep filling dry to avoid soggy wrappers. Do not overfill wrappers to prevent bursting. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for best crispiness. Fry in batches to avoid greasy lumpia. Optional double-fry for extra crispiness. Can bake lumpia at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes as a lighter alternative.
