These lumpia are the only thing my Filipina mom can cook that actually taste good and don’t pose a fire hazard to her kitchen. They’re made a bit differently, the meat mixture isn’t cooked before rolling. They can be made ahead of time and frozen. My family requests these all the time and they’re always the first thing gone. If you don’t want to make your own dipping sauce, our favorite is LaChoy® brand sweet and sour sauce.

Directions
- Mix beef, pork, onion, carrots, water chestnuts, garlic, 1 egg, oyster sauce, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until well blended.

Fold corner closest to you over filling; fold two side corners toward center and continue rolling wrapper tightly around meat. Brush a small amount of beaten egg over the top corner and press to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers. Store rolls in a covered container.
