Vegetarian Lumpia

Crisp, golden, and endlessly snackable, these lumpia get their savory depth from a well-seasoned mix of shredded carrots, garlic, and green onions, brightened with soy sauce and a touch of sesame oil. Each wrapper gets rolled tight and sealed with a beaten egg wash, then fried in batches until the outside turns deeply golden and shatteringly crisp while the inside stays hot and fragrant. The result is a snack-sized roll with real crunch in every bite, perfect for dunking in sweet chili sauce or a sharp vinegar-chili dip. Whether you're making a party-sized batch or just a few for movie night, the wrapping and frying method here delivers restaurant-quality crackle every time. It's a satisfying, craveable finger food that fits neatly into a vegetarian spread without any fuss.

½ cup green onions (scallions), thinly sliced (green and white parts)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains and the meat is cooked through, about 5–6 minutes, reaching 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
2
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the carrots and green onions and cook, stirring, until the carrots are just softened, about 2 minutes.
