Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 box lumpia wrappers
  • 1/2 cup carrots, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup green beans, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp green onions or scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients except the egg. Mix them until well blended. 
  • Layout one lumpia wrapper. It doesn't matter which side is facing you. But if you're using a square wrapper, lay it out like a diamond. Cut the wrapper in half if it's too big.
  • Scoop a tablespoon and spread the filling in a strip, leaving an inch from the top and bottom of the wrapper.
  • Fold in both ends of the wrapper and continue rolling until you reach an inch to the edge.
  • Dip your fingers in the beaten eggs and moisten the edge of the wrapper, then continue rolling to seal it. Repeat the process for each lumpia.
  • Heat oil over medium heat. About 1/2" deep. Carefully place 5-6 lumpia at a time depending on how big the frying pan is that you're using. Fry for 3 minutes on each side or until both sides are golden brown.
  • Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. 
  • Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
