Lumpiang Prito with Pork
Report
Lumpiang Prito filled with tender-crisp vegetables and ground pork are the ultimate midday snack or appetizer. They're crunchy, tasty, and best served with spicy vinegar.

Ingredients
- canola oil
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- ¼ pound ground pork
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 medium camote , peeled and cut into 1-inch lengths matchsticks
- ¼ cup water
- 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 1-inch lengths matchsticks
- 1 cup green beans, cut thinly on a bias
- 4 cups bean sprouts
- salt and pepper to taste
- 12 spring roll wrappers
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until limp.
- Add ground pork and cook until lightly browned.
- Add fish sauce and cook for about 1 minute.
- Add camote. Add water and bring to a boil. Continue to cook until camote are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Add carrots and cook for about 1 minute or until half-done.
- Add green beans and cook for about 1 minute.
- Add bean sprouts and cook briefly for about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove vegetable mixture from heat and in a strainer, drain well of liquid. Refrigerate to cool completely.
- Separate wrappers into individual sheets. On a flat working surface, lay the wrapper like a diamond.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of vegetable mixture on the middle of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom pointed end of wrapper over filling. Fold side ends of the sheet inward and roll tightly into a log. Wet the pointed edge of the wrapper with a dab of water to completely seal. Repeat with the remaining vegetable mixture.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat about 2 inches deep of oil. Add spring rolls seam side down and fry, turning once or twice, for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove from pan and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Serve immediately with spiced vinegar dip.
Notes
- Cut the sweet potatoes and carrots in uniform matchstick size to ensure even and fast cooking.
- Do not overcook vegetables. Keep them underdone as they cook in their residual heat and during the final frying.
- Drain the vegetables VERY well and cool them completely before wrapping, as their steam will cause tears on the spring roll wrappers. I like to pop the filling in the fridge for a few minutes to cool it down quickly and keep it from cooking further.
- Use fresh spring roll wrappers. Check manufacturing dates on packages; the older the wrappers get, the less pliable they are with rolling (they tend to break more) and harder to seal.
- Cover the wrappers with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
- Do not overfill wrappers to keep them from bursting during frying. Roll as tightly as possible.
- Use enough frying oil to cover the lumpia for the best crunch.
- Fry at the optimal temperature of 350 F to 375 F. If the oil is too hot, the wrappers will burn before sufficiently cooked. Too low, and the lumpia will absorb a lot more grease. Cook in batches to prevent the oil from plummeting.
- Do not drain on paper towels, as this will make them soggy. Drain them vertically on a wire rack set over a baking sheet or in a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl.
