Ingredients

• 300 grams Ground chicken
• 200 grams Extra firm tofu, drained and crumbled
• 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
• 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 24 pieces Lumpia wrappers
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken and crumbled tofu. Use a fork or your hands to mix them thoroughly.

Step 2

Add the grated carrot, chopped green onions, and minced garlic to the bowl. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 3

Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Mix again to ensure even distribution of the sauces throughout the mixture.

Step 4

Beat the egg in a small bowl and then add it to the meat mixture along with the salt and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are just combined.

Step 5

To assemble the lumpia, take one lumpia wrapper and place it on a flat surface with one corner pointed towards you.

Step 6

Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper and shape it into a thin line, leaving about 1 inch of space from the edges.

Step 7

Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both sides, and roll tightly towards the top corner. Wet the top edge with a little water to seal the roll. Repeat until all filling is used.

Step 8

In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Gently slide 3-4 lumpia into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 9

Fry the lumpia for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the fried lumpia from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or your choice of dipping sauce.
