# Steps:
01 -
Place ground beef and ground pork in a large bowl and gently mix until homogenous.
02 -
Add garlic, ginger, water chestnuts, carrots, onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, kosher salt, black pepper, Thai chili flakes, and scallion. Mix thoroughly until the filling is evenly blended.
03 -
Arrange one wrapper half on a clean surface with a point toward you. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of filling near the bottom tip and spread gently. Fold the bottom up over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the top tip with egg wash, then seal.
04 -
Place rolled lumpia seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lumpia may be refrigerated under a damp towel for up to 8 hours, or frozen in an airtight container for later use.
05 -
Heat peanut or vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or deep skillet to 350°F.
06 -
Fry lumpia in batches of 4 to 6, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp—about 4 minutes from fresh, or 6 minutes from frozen.
07 -
Transfer fried lumpia to a paper towel-lined tray with a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain. Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce alongside.

Lumpia can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen before frying for convenience.
