Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium carrot, grated
½ cup green beans, finely chopped
½ cup cabbage, finely chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
½ teaspoon black pepper
Lumpia wrappers (spring roll wrappers)
Vegetable oil, for frying
Sweet chili sauce, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens.
- Stir in the grated carrot, chopped green beans, and chopped cabbage. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add soy sauce, fish sauce, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 1 more minute. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool.
- To assemble, place a lumpia wrapper on a flat surface, with one corner pointing toward you. Add about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly towards the top corner. Dab water on the top corner to seal the lumpia.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the lumpia in batches, 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping, if desired.
Notes
Leftover lumpia can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
Uncooked lumpia can be frozen for up to 2 months. Fry directly from frozen, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.
You can customize the filling with other meats or vegetables according to your preference.
