    ingredients
  • 1 1⁄2 pounds ground pork
  • 2 medium carrots, shredded (about 11⁄2 cups)
  • 1 bunch scallions, sliced (about 1 1⁄2 cups)
  • 6-8 garlic cloves, finely grated (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • Cornstarch
  • 40 lumpia wrappers
  • Oil for frying

  • Special equipment:
  • Piping bag, deep-fry thermometer
steps
  1. In a large bowl, combine pork, carrot, scallion, garlic, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly incorporated. Use your hands for best results.
  2. Create a slurry of cornstarch and water so consistency is that of heavy cream. Transfer filling to a piping bag. Pipe lines of filling into lumpia wrappers and roll, sealing with cornstarch slurry.
  3. Fill a deep skillet or dutch oven with oil 2 to 3 inches deep and heat to 350 degrees. Cut rolled lumpia into three sections each and fry until cooked inside, 7 to 10 minutes. You will have to do this in batches. Transfer to drain on paper towels.
