Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 lb lean ground pork
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1/2 lb green beans, julienned
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (optional)
- 1 cup bean sprouts (optional)
- 15 lumpia wrappers, square or round
- Salt to taste
Directions
Heat oil in skillet and saute garlic and onions until tender. Add pork and saute until browned. Add vegetables and cook until tender, yet crisp, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with soy sauce. When mixture is cool, add bean sprouts. Salt to taste.
To assemble lumpia: Carefully separate wrappers. To prevent them from drying out, cover unused wrappers with moist paper towel. Lay one wrapper on clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the edge closest to you. Roll edge towards the middle. Fold in both sides and continue rolling. Moisten opposite edge with water to seal. Repeat with other wrappers. Lumpia can be frozen until ready to use.
Deep fry at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sweet sour or vinegar and garlic dipping sauce (recipes below).
- Vinegar Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Mix together all ingredients.

Excellent! This is the true lumpia minus the optional bean sprouts. I used to indulge in these weekly in Charleston, SC and this recipe brought me back. I have made different types of lumpia over the last 20 years, but this is how I remember the authentic lumpia. My husband had never eaten lumpia and loved it. I did add a few spices and a little extra soy. Perfect! Thanks for the recipe!

LOVE this recipe! Adding vegetables to the lumpia is very important (instead of making the all-meat kind you see at most Filipino restaurants. The type of wrapper you use can also make or break this dish. Be sure to use the Simex brand: It's light, strong and fries up nice and crisp.
