Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground chicken
• 1 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, finely chopped
• 1 large carrot, peeled and shredded
• 4 to 5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1-1/2 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 package (50-count) springroll wrappers
• oil for deep frying

Instructions

• In a bowl, combine chicken, green onions, water chestnuts, carrots, garlic, soy sauce, salt and pepper.
• Separate wrappers into individual sheets and lay wrapper in a square on a flat working surface.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoon of meat mixture on edge of the side closest to you and spread mixture across the whole vertical length of wrapper. Pull the side with filling over and roll tightly into a log, leaving about ¼-inch of the wrapper. Lightly dab water on the remaining ¼-inch and complete rolling to seal into a tight log. Repeat with remaining wrappers. Cut logs into four 2-inch length pieces.
• In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1 inch of oil. Fry lumpia in batches, turning on sides as needed, until wrapper is golden brown and crisp and meat is cooked through. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve with sweet and sour sauce or ketchup.

Notes

Do not overcrowd pan during frying.
