Prepare the filling: Julienned vegetables for the lumpia.

Use a large leek, four stalks of celery, one large white onion, and leftover bell pepper.

For seasoning, measure out one and a half tablespoons of soy sauce and one bouillon cube.

Place approximately one pound of chicken breast into the Instant Pot with one cup of chicken stock.

Lock the lid in place, set the vent to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.

While the chicken cooks, preheat a pan with grapeseed oil until it starts to smoke.

Add the celery to the hot oil and stir-fry until slightly tender, then add the bell pepper and stir.

Next, add the onions and break the bouillon cube into the mixture, stirring well.

Finally, add the leeks and soy sauce, stir through, and remove from heat once vegetables are tender but still crunchy.

Transfer the vegetable mixture to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature.

Shred the cooked chicken using two forks or a mixer if warm, then mix it with the cooled vegetables.

Prepare a slurry by mixing one cup of water with one cup of flour until it reaches a glue-like consistency.

Set up a rolling station with lumpia skins covered with a towel to prevent drying out, and a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Take one tablespoon of filling, place it on the lumpia skin, fold the tip over the filling, and roll tightly, sealing with the slurry.

Demonstrate a second rolling method starting with the lumpia skin in a diamond shape, adding filling, folding tightly, and sealing with slurry.
