  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 (16 ounce) package spring roll wrappers

  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees

  • When the chicken is cooked, let cool then mince in a food processor
  • 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
  • Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then cut lumpia into halves or thirds and serve with a sweet chili dipping sauce
