Ingredients
- 10 spring roll wrappers
- 1 egg
- neutral cooking oil for frying
Filling
- 1 lb ground pork
- 3 tbsp garlic minced
- 4 tbsp carrot minced
- 2 tbsp yellow onion minced
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- ¼ tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Defrost and un-peel spring roll wrappers. Cover the peeled wrappers with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
- Combine all filling ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Take ¼ teaspoon of the mixture and cook in the microwave for about ten to 15 seconds. Taste this piece to make sure your filling is properly seasoned. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Place one spring roll wrapper on the surface. Add three tablespoons of filling and form it into a horizontal long along the bottom half of your spring roll wrapper. Leave about half to one inch of space from the edge to the filling.
- Use your hands to form the filling into a log shape.
- Take the bottom edge of the wrapper and fold it over the filling tightly. Continue to roll the wrapper upwards making a tight log.
- At about two inches from the top, add a small amount of egg wash to the top edge of the wrapper.
- Finish rolling it upwards and seal the roll tightly.
- Using scissors or a knife, cut the roll into three pieces, about three inches long each.
- In a heavy bottomed pot, add about two inches of oil and heat to 375 °F.
- Carefully add the rolled lumpias into the oil and cook for about three to four minutes each batch. They should come out golden brown in color with a crispy outside layer. Using a thermometer, they should measure at least 165 °F for doneness.
- Remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel and rack to remove excess oil.
- Serve as soon as possible with a side of steamed rice and a sweet and sour dipping sauce.

Notes
- You can freeze uncooked lumpia in a zip-lock bag and they should last for at least one month.
