The crunchy, savory, and flavorful mix of ground chicken, carrots, spices, and seasonings enclosed in spring rolls wrappers is a must-try. Best eaten hot, the traditional lumpia or Filipino spring rolls can be air fried or deep-fried.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 50 lumpia pieces 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds of ground chicken thighs

1 grated large carrot (1 cup)

1 grated onion (1 cup)

2 eggs

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp salt

2 tsp black pepper

2 whisked egg whites

Filipino Smash Sauce

I/2 cup banana ketchup

1/2 cup mayo

3 tbsp relish

Instructions

  1. Make the filling. Combine everything in a large mixing bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands.
  2. Put the filling in a large ziplock bag or a piping bag.
  3. Arrange your lumpia wrappers (or spring roll wrappers). Separate the wrappers as it will make your wrapping easier and faster.
  4. Let’s wrap the lumpia. Cut a tiny hole in the bottom corner of your ziplock bag. If using a piping bag, use a medium size tip. Place a line of the filling in the bottom of the wrapper. Roll and brush with egg white wash at the end to seal it.
  5. Repeat until you finish the filling.
  6. Place your lumpia on a baking tray. Freeze for a minimum of 1 hour before deep frying.
  7. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown. Use tongs to place the lumpia seal down first to keep it intact.
  8. Make your sauces. To keep it simple, sweet Thai chili sauce is a classic. But I'm sure you'll love my Filipino Smash Sauce.
