Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 lb ground pork (or chicken, turkey, or beef)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup jicama, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for soy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional, for added umami)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12-15 sheets of keto-friendly spring roll wrappers (like cabbage leaves or egg wrappers)
  • Avocado oil or olive oil spray, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add Vegetables: Stir in shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped jicama, green onions, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  3. Seasoning: Add soy sauce (or coconut aminos), fish sauce (if using), sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and allow the flavors to meld together for 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Assemble Lumpia: Place a keto-friendly spring roll wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto one end of the wrapper. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling and roll tightly, similar to a burrito. Seal the edge with a bit of water to secure the lumpia.
  5. Cook Lumpia: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush or spray the lumpia with avocado oil or olive oil. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  6. Air Fry: Air fry the lumpia for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown on all sides.
  7. Serve: Remove the cooked lumpia from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, spicy vinegar, or a keto-friendly sweet chili sauce.
