Gluten-Free Filipino Lumpia Recipe

Ingredients:

1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 cup shrimp, peeled, deveined, and finely chopped
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup jicama (singkamas), julienned
1/2 cup carrots, julienned
1/4 cup green beans, thinly sliced
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Gluten-free lumpia wrappers (available at Asian grocery stores)
Cooking oil for frying
Salt and black pepper to taste
Gluten-free sweet chili sauce (for dipping, optional)

Instructions:

In a large skillet or wok, heat a small amount of cooking oil over medium-high heat.

Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Add the ground pork and cook until it's no longer pink, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.

Stir in the chopped shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque.

Add the julienned carrots, jicama, green beans, and shredded cabbage to the skillet. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for another minute.

Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling mixture cool.

To assemble the lumpia, place a gluten-free lumpia wrapper on a clean surface.

Spoon a portion of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.

Fold in the sides of the wrapper and then roll it up tightly, similar to a burrito.

Moisten the edge of the wrapper with a bit of water to seal it.

Repeat the assembly process for the remaining wrappers and filling.

In a deep skillet or pot, heat enough cooking oil for frying over medium-high heat.

Carefully add the lumpia rolls to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve your gluten-free Filipino Lumpia hot, with gluten-free sweet chili sauce for dipping if desired.
