- Combine minced chicken, onion, and carrot in a large bowl; mix well with hands
- Gradually blend in soy sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until incorporated
- Working one at a time, lay a wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing at you, then place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in a line, no thicker than your thumb, across the center of the wrapper
- Moisten the edges of wrapper with egg, then fold the bottom edge of wrapper snugly over filling; fold in the left and right sides of wrapper towards the center; roll up tightly to seal in filling
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 375 degrees
- Working in batches, fry lumpia in hot oil, turning once, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes
