Lumpia That Will Go with Everything This AAPIHM

Lumpia, also known as Filipino spring rolls, offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures, making them a popular choice for any gathering, but especially during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. These rolls are filled with a savory mixture of ground pork, vegetables, and seasonings, then fried to achieve a crispy, golden exterior. Lumpia can be a tasty appetizer or a snack that satisfies cravings. Pair them with a side of sweet and sour dipping sauce to enhance their flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 1 cup cabbage, finely shredded

• 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic, carrots, cabbage, soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
