  • Author: Leo
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 1 lb ground chicken
– 1 cup carrot, finely shredded
– 1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 pack lumpia wrappers (about 20-25 sheets)
– Oil for frying


Instructions

Creating Filipino-Style Chicken Lumpia is an enjoyable and rewarding endeavor. Follow these simple steps to achieve crispy perfection:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken, shredded carrot, shredded cabbage, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

2. Sauté the Mixture: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chicken mixture and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. Wrap the Lumpia: Take one lumpia wrapper and place it on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the bottom part of the wrapper. Fold the sides inward and roll it up tightly. Seal the edge with a little water.

4. Arrange the Wrapped Lumpia: Place the sealed lumpia on a plate or tray, making sure they don’t touch each other to avoid sticking.

5. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat for frying. You’ll need enough oil to cover the lumpia when frying.

6. Fry the Lumpia: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the lumpia in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.

7. Drain and Cool: Use a slotted spoon to remove the lumpia from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

These steps will lead you to create deliciously crispy chicken lumpia that is sure to impress.
