   Noin 2 min

   Kokin vinkki: The egg acts as a binder, helping the filling hold its shape.

3. 3

   Prepare your workstation by laying out a lumpia wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you.

   Kokin vinkki: Keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

4. 4

   Place about a tablespoon of the meat mixture near the corner closest to you, forming a log shape.

   Kokin vinkki: Do not overfill the wrapper to prevent bursting during frying.

5. 5

   Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the side corners to create a tight envelope.

6. 6

   Roll the wrapper tightly upwards towards the remaining corner, sealing the edge with a dab of water to secure it.
