Preparation time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:
- 25 spring roll wrappers
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 lb of ground beef
- 1 clove of garlic
- 2 tbsp of oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Oil to fry
Method:
- In a large pan, over medium heat, add 2 tbsp of oil.
- When already hot, add your garlic and chopped onion. Stir and let it cook for a minute or two. You want the onion to be soft.
- Mix in the ground beef, salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until the beef is completely cooked. Set aside and let it cool down a little bit.
- In a flat surface, place your spring roll wrapper in a diamond shape.
- Add a tbsp. of the ground beef near the corner. Don’t add too much filling or your lumpias will break while frying them.
- Fold the spring roll wrapper really tight until half way.
- Fold over both sides, tight and even.
- Continue rolling up until you get to the corner.
- Brush the edges with some water, it will work as a glue to paste your lumpia.
- Repeat the same process with all the spring roll wrappers.
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, add enough oil to fry the lumpias.
- Fry them until golden on both sides.
- Serve with some sweet and sour sauce!
