4 servings
Servings4
½ cup neutral oil
½ cup chopped yellow onion
½ cup finely chopped green onion
1 pound ground pork
½ cup grated carrots, squeezed of excess moisture
½ cup finely chopped green cabbage
1 tablespoon garlic paste
1 tablespoon ginger paste
1 tablespoon soy paste or sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

ground pork

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Turkey is leaner, while chicken is often less expensive.

spring roll wrappers

🥗Healthier: whole wheat wrappers

💰Cheaper: rice paper

Whole wheat is more nutritious, while rice paper can be cheaper.

1

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok, and add the onion - cook a couple minutes, then add the green onion - stir well.

2

Now add the pork and cook, breaking up as you go just until the pink color is gone, then put in the carrot and cabbage - mix.

3

Make a little spot in the center and add the garlic & ginger paste, and when fragrant stir it in along with the soy, salt & pepper and cilantro - mix well and let cool.

4

Place a wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing towards you, add about 2 tablespoons of the mix about 1/3 of the way up, then fold over the filling with the bottom point, bring in the sides to overlap, then roll away from you (keeping it snug) but brush a little of the beaten egg on the top corner before sealing tight.

5

Heat about an inch of oil in a cast iron pan or pot to 350, gently add the lumpia and cook, turning occasionally until all sides are golden brown - somewhere around 2 minutes total.

6

Combine the sweet chili sauce with sriracha, set aside.

7

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, and repeat with remaining lumpia.

8

Serve with the sweet chili / sriracha sauce for dipping.
