Ground turkey is leaner, while ground beef is often less expensive.

💰Cheaper: wonton wrappers

Rice paper is gluten-free, and wonton wrappers can be more accessible.

soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces salt intake, while tamari is gluten-free.

oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier, while vegetable oil is often cheaper.

Mix ground pork, finely chopped carrots, sweet onions, water chestnuts, thinly sliced green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, Knorr seasoning, sugar, black pepper, and a lightly beaten egg in a bowl.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for one hour.

Prepare lumpia wrappers by pulling them apart and covering with a damp towel or plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

Make a slurry by combining flour with water.

Place a wrapper on a work surface and spoon five tablespoons of filling inside.

Fold the bottom half of the wrapper over the filling, tuck the top half, and roll away from you, sealing with the slurry.

Cut the rolled lumpia into smaller pieces if desired.

Freeze the lumpia on a sheet tray in a single layer for 2-3 hours if not frying immediately.

In a heavy bottom pot, heat canola oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fry the lumpia in batches for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then drain on a cooling rack lined with paper towels.

Serve with dipping sauce such as banana ketchup, sweet chili sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
