1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 pound ground pork 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup minced carrots 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1/2 cup thinly sliced green cabbage 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon soy sauce 30 lumpia wrappers or eggroll wrappers 2 cups vegetable oil for frying DIRECTIONS Place a wok or large skillet over high heat, and pour in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Cook pork, stirring frequently, until no pink is showing. Remove pork from pan and set aside. Drain grease from pan, leaving a thin coating. Cook garlic and onion in the same pan for 2 minutes. Stir in the cooked pork, carrots, green onions, and cabbage. Season with pepper, salt, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Remove from heat, and set aside until cool enough to handle. Place three heaping tablespoons of the filling diagonally near one corner of each wrapper, leaving a 1 1/2 inch space at both ends. Fold the side along the length of the filling over the filling, tuck in both ends, and roll neatly. Keep the roll tight as you assemble. Moisten the other side of the wrapper with water to seal the edge. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap to retain moisture. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat, add oil to 1/2 inch depth, and heat for 5 minutes. Slide 3 or 4 lumpia into the oil. Fry the rolls for 1 to 2 minutes, until all sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

I love lumpia and want to make this soon...........however, I cannot get the wrappers around here. Whenever I get to downtown Pittsburgh, I can get them there at the Asian market, unless you think I can use egg roll wrappers??
What is the difference in the two?

Ya know what, I should have put that in the recipe. I have never been able to find those type of wrappers either. I always use eggroll wrappers! Sorry about that!

One thing I noticed with Lumpia wrappers are that they are a tad bit bigger. I used to buy them for a coworker who's wife is Filipino. She would make hundreds at a time and fry them up. He brought them to work often......OMG, excellent.

Look up an Asian market in the phonebook. They are sold in discs (dried). I have a friend from the Philippines who taught me how to make them.
