Air Fryer Lumpia (Filipino Spring Rolls)

Lumpia means “spring roll” and symbolizes hospitality. These appetizers are commonly served at Filipino parties and celebrations. Lumpia are usually deep fried, but our air fryer version keeps the deliciousness and crispiness without all the extra saturated fat.

Ingredients

Servings  10   Serving Size   2 lumpia

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1/2 pound extra-lean ground pork
  • 1/2 pound extra-lean ground beef
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 1-inch piece grated peeled gingerroot
  • 3/4 cup finely minced onion
  • 3/4 cup finely minced carrot
  • 3/4 cup thinly sliced green cabbage
  • 1/2 cup finely minced water chestnuts
  • 2 medium green onion (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, divided use
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (lowest sodium available)
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 20 6- to 8-inch lumpia, spring roll, or egg roll wrappers
  • 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce (lowest sodium and added sugars available)

  1. In a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the pork and beef for 5 to 7 minutes, or until no longer pink, stirring occasionally to turn and break up the pork and beef.
  2. Add the garlic and gingerroot. Cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  3. To make the filling: Stir in the onion, carrot, cabbage, water chestnuts, green onions, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the soy sauce, pepper, garlic powder, and remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
  4. Remove from the heat. Let stand for 10 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
  5. Meanwhile, if using an air fryer basket, preheat the air fryer to 360°F. If using a toaster-style air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
  6. Place a wrapper on a clean work surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon 2 1/2 tablespoons of the filling at the bottom of the wrapper, leaving about 1 1/2 inches of space from the bottom point. Fold the bottom and sides over the filling, meeting the top point. Fold in the two side points, meeting in the middle and slightly overlapping to create an envelope shape. Roll the wrapper tightly toward the top point until there is about 1 inch of wrapper remaining. With clean fingers, moisten the remaining 1 inch of wrapper with water. Roll to seal the edge.
  7. Transfer to a platter or large plate with the seam side down. Cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  8. Arrange the rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket or air fryer rack. (Don’t overcrowd; work in batches as needed.) If using a basket-style air fryer, cook for 12 minutes, or until golden brown. If using a toaster-style air fryer, cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Serve with the chili sauce.
