Classic Filipino Lumpia Rolls
  1. 1

    If frozen, thaw the lumpia wrappers.

  2. 2

    Lay several wrappers on a clean, dry surface, and cover them with a damp towel to keep them from drying out.

  3. 3

    Mix the beef, pork, onion, green pepper, and carrot in a medium bowl.

  4. 4

    Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture along the center of a wrapper.

  5. 5

    Do not overfill the wrappers or they will burn before the meat is cooked.

  6. 6

    Fold one edge of the wrapper over the filling.

  7. 7

    Fold the outer edges in slightly, then roll into a sealed cylinder.

  8. 8

    Wet a finger with water and moisten the outer edge to seal.

  9. 9

    Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, keeping the finished lumpia covered to prevent drying.

  10. 10

    Heat oil in a 9-inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat until it reaches 365 to 375 degrees F (170 to 175 degrees C).

  11. 11

    Fry 3 to 4 lumpia at a time, turning them in the oil until nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  12. 12

    Drain on paper towels.

  13. 13

    Cut each lumpia into thirds for parties, and serve with banana ketchup, if you like.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
