Steps:
- Place a wok or large skillet over high heat, and pour in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Cook pork, stirring frequently, until no pink is showing. Remove pork from pan and set aside. Drain grease from pan, leaving a thin coating. Cook garlic and onion in the same pan for 2 minutes. Stir in the cooked pork, carrots, green onions, and cabbage. Season with pepper, salt, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Remove from heat, and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Place three heaping tablespoons of the filling diagonally near one corner of each wrapper, leaving a 1 1/2 inch space at both ends. Fold the side along the length of the filling over the filling, tuck in both ends, and roll neatly. Keep the roll tight as you assemble. Moisten the other side of the wrapper with water to seal the edge. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap to retain moisture.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat, add oil to 1/2 inch depth, and heat for 5 minutes. Slide 3 or 4 lumpia into the oil. Fry the rolls for 1 to 2 minutes, until all sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Add the carrots, onion, and water chestnuts to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the vegetables are finely chopped, but not ground into a paste.
- Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl with the ground pork, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, Knorr seasoning, sugar, black pepper, and egg. Stir with a fork until well combined; do not overmix. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Gently separate the lumpia wrappers from one another and cover with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
- Add the flour and water to a small bowl and whisk to combine, making sure there are no lumps.
- Assemble the lumpia: Scoop 5 tablespoons (52 grams) of the filling onto the center of a lumpia wrapper and shape into a horizontal line, all the way across the wrapper. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling and start to roll tightly. Brush the flour paste on the top edge of the wrapper, then continue rolling to seal. Transfer to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Cut each lumpia crosswise into 4 equal pieces.
- If desired, arrange the lumpia in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other. Freeze until solid, 2-3 hours, then transfer to an airtight container. The lumpia will keep in the freezer for 3-4 weeks.
- When ready to fry, pour 1 inch of canola oil into a large pot and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and set a wire rack on top.
- Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, add the lumpia to the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to the wire rack to drain and repeat with the remaining lumpia, allowing the oil to return to temperature between batches.
- Serve the lumpia with your favorite sauce for dipping.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: To ensure a smooth cooking process, make sure to chop your vegetables, shrimp, and other ingredients before you start cooking.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your lumpia. Opt for fresh, crisp vegetables and succulent shrimp.
- Don't overfill the lumpia wrappers: Overfilling the wrappers can make them difficult to roll and may cause them to break open during frying.
- Seal the lumpia tightly: To prevent the lumpia from unrolling during frying, make sure to seal the edges tightly with a dab of water or egg wash.
- Fry the lumpia in hot oil: Use a deep fryer or a large pot with a few inches of oil heated to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the lumpia cooks evenly and becomes crispy.
- Drain the lumpia on paper towels: After frying, transfer the lumpia to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
