Instructions
Creating Filipino-Style Chicken Lumpia can be straightforward if you follow these steps carefully:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant.
3. Cook the Chicken: Incorporate the ground chicken into the pan, stirring occasionally until cooked through.
4. Add Vegetables: Mix in the chopped carrots and green beans. Cook for an additional 5–7 minutes until the veggies are tender.
5. Season the Filling: Add soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and ground ginger. Stir well to combine. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
6. Wrap the Lumpia: Take a spring roll wrapper and place it on a flat surface. Add approximately 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling near one edge.
7. Roll It Up: Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the filled edge to seal it. Use a little beaten egg to seal the edge.
8. Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan, heat enough oil over medium-high heat for deep frying.
9. Fry the Lumpia: Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few lumpia in the oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Flip to cook evenly.
10. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the lumpia from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
