-
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger (from 1 [1-inch] piece)
-
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2 large eggs, beaten and divided
-
1 (13-ounce) package round lumpia wrappers (such as Simex)

Description
-
Stir together pork, cabbage, carrot, scallion, garlic, soy sauce, ginger, salt, pepper, and 1 egg in a large bowl until well combined. Transfer mixture to a piping bag or large ziplock plastic bag; cut a 3/4-inch hole in corner of bag.
-
Place 1 lumpia wrapper on a clean work surface. Brush top edge of wrapper lightly with some of the remaining beaten egg. Pipe a 6-inch-long line of pork mixture (about 2 1/2 tablespoons) horizontally along the lower third of the wrapper. Fold bottom of wrapper over filling; fold in sides. Roll upward to completely encase filling, using egg-brushed edge to seal. Place lumpia on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining wrappers, beaten egg, and pork mixture.
-
Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches into a large Dutch oven; heat over medium-high to 325°F. Working in batches, fry lumpia, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined baking sheet to drain. Repeat process with remaining lumpia.
-
Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Cut lumpia in half crosswise, and serve with sauce for dipping.
