For extra crispy lumpia, double-fry them! After the first fry, let them cool slightly, then fry them again for an even crispier texture. Make a dipping sauce to accompany your Lumpia. A simple sweet chili sauce or a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic works wonderfully.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Filling: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes tender and translucent (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt to taste. Add the ground pork and minced garlic. Cook, breaking up the pork with a spoon, until it is no longer pink. Season with additional salt, if needed, and drain any excess grease. Stir in the red pepper flakes, garlic powder, turmeric, ginger, cumin, coriander, and celery seed. Set aside to cool completely. (Prep time: 20 minutes)
02
StepAssemble the Lumpia: Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooled pork mixture onto a lumpia wrapper, positioning it with one corner facing you. Fold the corner closest to you over the filling. Fold the two side corners toward the center, creating a neat package. Continue rolling the wrapper tightly around the pork mixture. Brush a small amount of water over the top corner to seal the roll securely. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. (Prep time: 30 minutes)
03
StepFry the Lumpia: Heat 1 quart of vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
StepCook to Perfection: Carefully lower the lumpia into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry the rolls until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking (about 4-6 minutes per batch). Remove the fried lumpia with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. (Prep time: 20 minutes)
