Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the chicken, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until done. Reserve the chicken stock, let the chicken cool, then cut the chicken into small cubes.

In a large skillet or wok, sauté the pork until evenly browned. Stir in the chicken, cabbage, and carrots. Cook over medium heat until the cabbage is tender. Remove from the heat, and let it cool slightly while you separate the wrappers.

In a small bowl, mix enough flour and water to make a paste with the consistency of glue. Spoon the meat mixture in a thin line onto each wrapper, and roll up, sealing the edge with a dab of the flour paste. Keep each lumpia thin; if you overfill them, the wrapper will tear. Save about 1/2 to 1/4 of the filling in the pot for the pancit.

Heat a large skillet with 1/2 to 1 inch of oil. Fry the lumpia one side at a time until nicely golden brown. Drain upright in a pot or bowl lined with paper towels.

Return the remaining filling to the stove, and gently mix in the pancit noodles. Gradually add the chicken stock, and cook until the noodles are tender.

For the sauce: Using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon, crush the garlic, then mix it into the vinegar. Serve in small bowls with spoons. Use the sauce as a dip or spoon it into the lumpia.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
