For the Filling

  • 1 medium Onion Yellow or white onions work best.

  • 0.5 cup Potatoes Diced finely for even cooking.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Sauté minced garlic and chopped onions for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  2. Add ground pork and beef, breaking it apart. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. Drain excess oil and pour in chicken broth, bringing to a simmer. Stir in diced carrots and potatoes, cooking for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add green beans, shredded cabbage, and diced celery, cooking until all vegetables are tender-crisp (additional 2-3 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and allow filling to cool for 10-15 minutes to prevent tearing wrappers.
  6. Assemble wrappers by placing a wrapper on flat surface, scooping filling, folding bottom corner, and rolling tightly.
  7. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry Lumpia in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  8. Transfer cooked Lumpia onto paper towels to drain excess oil and serve warm with dipping sauces.
