Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 to 1 & 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, sliced thinly
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 2 & 1/2 cups mung bean sprouts (180 grams), rinsed and drained
  • 10 pcs spring roll wrappers
  • salt and pepper, to season

Instructions

Cooking vegetable filling:

  • Place a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and heat 1 & 1/2 tbsp of vegetable oil.
  • Once the oil is ready, add the onions and cook until slightly soft.
  • Add the carrots, mix, and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the bean sprouts, season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix. Cook for a minute, and then take the pan off the heat.
  • Transfer the vegetables into a strainer to drain the remaining liquid.

Wrapping vegetable spring rolls:

  • Place about a tablespoon of the vegetables on one corner of the wrapper.
  • Fold the wrapper forward tightly, then fold both sides towards the center and continue rolling forward until you reach the edge of the wrapper.
  • Dab some water on the wrapper before rolling them up fully.  
  • Place each vegetable lumpia on a tray, with the seam side down.

Frying lumpiang gulay:

  • Place a medium to a large-sized saucepan over medium-high heat and add remaining vegetable oil.
  • Once the oil is ready, add the vegetable spring rolls, making sure the pan is not too crowded.
  • Cook all sides of your lumpiang gulay evenly until they turn golden.
  • Remove each vegetable lumpia from the pan and place it on top of a paper towel to remove excess oil.
  • Serve.

Notes

  • Cook’s Tip #1:  Ensure you don’t overcook the vegetables when you cook them. Keep in mind that you still need to fry them later.
  • Cook’s Tip #2:  Do not skip the draining of the vegetables before wrapping them. The drier the lumpiang gulay is, the crunchier it will be.
  • Cook’s Tip #3:  When wrapping your vegetable lumpia, cover the remaining wrappers with a clean kitchen towel; to prevent them from drying.
