Ingredients
1 lb ground meat of choice, typically made with pork
1 cup carrots, julienned
1 cup cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Lumpia wrappers
Chili or soy sauce for dipping
Preparation
With adult supervision, cook the meat of choice until it turns brown in a pan. Drain any extra fat.
Add carrots, cabbage, green onions, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables become tender.
Place a spoonful of the mixture onto a lumpia wrapper and roll it tightly.
Seal the edge with water.
Ask a grown-up to help pour either vegetable oil or canola oil into a pot, enough cooking oil to cover the lumpia rolls.
Turn on the stove with the help of a grown-up. When the oil becomes warm and giggly, you're ready to fry the lumpia.
Carefully place your lumpia rolls into the pan. Watch them sizzle in the oil.
Use a spatula (with a grown-up's help) to gently turn the lumpia rolls. They want to get golden all over.
Keep an eye on your lumpia. When they wear a beautiful golden coat, they're ready to be lifted out of the pan.
Let them rest on a plate with a soft towel to drain off any extra oil.
Serve with chili or soy sauce for dipping.
Enjoy!!!
