Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the pork with the onion, carrot, garlic, salt, and pepper and mix with your hands until evenly combined. Position 1 spring roll wrapper in front of you like a diamond (so that a point is facing you), and place 1 tablespoon of filling on the diamond's bottom half. Lift the point nearest you and wrap it around the filling. Fold the left and right corners in toward the center, brush the top tip with some of the beaten egg, and continue rolling into a tight cylinder. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Make the dipping sauce: In a small jar, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, peppercorns, garlic, and chiles. Shake to mix.
- Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a 6-quart Dutch oven, attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of the pan, and heat to 350°. Working in batches, add the spring rolls to the oil and fry until golden brown and the filling is cooked, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the lumpia to paper towels to drain. Season with salt and serve while hot with the garlic-chile vinegar sauce.

Found this on a neat blog called Yummy Addiction. Posting for World Tour 2016. I chose this recipe to post because the blogger had a number of good photos including how to wrap the lumpia. Need to find a good dipping sauce recipe! I think I"ll be exploring this blog more!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine pork, garlic, onion, carrot, celery, soy sauce, egg, salt and pepper. Carefully separate the wrappers. To prevent them from drying out as you work, keep a barely damp paper towel over the unused wrappers.
- Lay one wrapper on clean surface. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling diagonally near one corner of the wrapper and gently push the filling into about 4-inch log, leaving a 1½ inch space at both ends. Fold the side nearest to you over the filling, then fold in both sides and roll neatly and tight. Moisten the other side of the wrapper with beaten egg white to seal the edge. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap to retain moisture. Repeat with remaining wrappers. At this point, lumpia can be frozen until ready to use.
- In a deep pan, add the oil to about 1-inch depth and heat to 350°F Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the wrappers by testing the edge of one. If it sizzles and bubbles, then the oil is ready. Carefully slide the lumpia, a few at a time, into the oil and fry until crispy and golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Do not overcrowd pan during frying. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Ensure that oil is back to 350 degrees before frying the next batch. Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce or other sauce of your choice. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your lumpia the best flavor.
- Chop your vegetables finely: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too soggy.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your lumpia. Some popular choices include carrots, cabbage, celery, and green onions.
- Add some protein: Lumpia can be made with a variety of proteins, including shrimp, chicken, pork, and tofu. If you are using meat, be sure to cook it thoroughly before adding it to the lumpia.
- Use a good quality wrapper: The wrapper is what holds the lumpia together, so it is important to use a good quality wrapper. Look for wrappers that are thin and pliable.
- Fry the lumpia until they are golden brown: This will give them a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Serve the lumpia with a dipping sauce: Lumpia is traditionally served with a dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, and chili sauce.
Conclusion:
Lumpia is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. With a little practice, you can easily make lumpia at home. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give lumpia a try. You won't be disappointed!
