Steps:
- Brown ground pork and drain. Add all ingredients diced as fine as you can and toss on low heat for 10 minutes or until vegetables are al dente. place in a bowl and allow to cool.
- The trick to rolling a proper lumpia is to put about a tablespoon of the meat vegetable mixture apx 1/4" from the bottom of the lumpia wrapper. Flip that 1/4" over the top of the mix and tuck it underneath and make it tight. Roll it like a cigar for 1 roll and then tuck in the sides like a burrito and continue rolling until the last roll. Moisten the last 1/4" with water to seal it like an envelope.
- Once you get to this stage you can deep fry, refrigerate, or freeze the lupia. Regardless when you do fry them fry until the outside is very light brown and place on a plate with a paper towel to dry excess oil. Serve with a sweet and sour sauce.

Steps:
- Add the carrots, onion, and water chestnuts to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the vegetables are finely chopped, but not ground into a paste.
- Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl with the ground pork, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, Knorr seasoning, sugar, black pepper, and egg. Stir with a fork until well combined; do not overmix. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Gently separate the lumpia wrappers from one another and cover with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
- Add the flour and water to a small bowl and whisk to combine, making sure there are no lumps.
- Assemble the lumpia: Scoop 5 tablespoons (52 grams) of the filling onto the center of a lumpia wrapper and shape into a horizontal line, all the way across the wrapper. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling and start to roll tightly. Brush the flour paste on the top edge of the wrapper, then continue rolling to seal. Transfer to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Cut each lumpia crosswise into 4 equal pieces.
- If desired, arrange the lumpia in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other. Freeze until solid, 2-3 hours, then transfer to an airtight container. The lumpia will keep in the freezer for 3-4 weeks.
- When ready to fry, pour 1 inch of canola oil into a large pot and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and set a wire rack on top.
- Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, add the lumpia to the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to the wire rack to drain and repeat with the remaining lumpia, allowing the oil to return to temperature between batches.
- Serve the lumpia with your favorite sauce for dipping.
- Enjoy!
