LOW CARB LUMPIA
Being Keto and Low Carb, I would have never thought that I could have lumpia again. Guess what? I CAN HAVE MY LUMPIA! Yes, we can have our lumpia!
Cut Da Carb makes being keto and low carb a game changer, and you could easily think, feel, and taste that these are THE REAL DEAL!
Over the weekend I spent a good few hours rolling 100+ of these up.
We bought lots of pork butt/pork shoulder and ground it up ourselves in an old school food processor that’s been in our family for 35+ years and seasoned the pork with all the garlic, onions, coconut aminos (can use soy sauce), and carrots.
You can omit the carrots, but it definitely brings in some color and when we want to be extra, we’ve added water chestnuts for some added crunch texture.
I’ll be honest, we never really measure when making lumpia. If you’re concerned about taste, (if it smells good, it usually tastes good) or you can cook some of the meat mixture on the stove to try it out.
Cook some of the meat mixture on the stove to try it out- this is where you can learn about flavors and tastes and how to ‘season’ as you go.
INGREDIENTS:
We used about 3 pounds of ground up pork
2 whole onions
1 full garlic bulb- about 10-12 garlic cloves peeled
1/2 of a large carrot
1/4 cup of Bragg Liquid Aminos
2 full packets of Lono Life Beef Bone Broth Powder
4 eggs
DIRECTIONS:
Mix all the ingredients above! You’ll want to make sure you have a big enough mixing bowl or ‘tub’ and feel free to use gloves!
1 sheet of Cut Da Carb is 9 net carbs. I cut the sheet into 6 equal parts.
Load your pork mixture into a gallon ziplock back and cut a hole at the end to squeeze mixture out for fast and easy rolling.
Fry em fresh in avocado oil/ extra virgin olive oil or freeze em up to fry them at a later time.
Be sure oil is hot but temperature is at a low heat as Cut Da Carb wrappers fry up fast! You will want to use a low temperature so the pork cooks fully. Fry the lumpia with wrapper faced down first.
Hoarding lots of these up in the freezer (the only thing I’m good at hoarding and proud of hoarding are these lumpia’s 🤣🤤)
Cut Da Carb flatbreads are so versatile and they make awesome spring roll/egg roll wrapper alternatives!
There is no wrong way to make lumpia and I’m sure your creation will taste just as good! Here’s a video showing another way I have created lumpia using a different rolling/wrapping technique.
If you’re worried about the pork not cooking entirely, I’ve cooked the pork prior to rolling and fried after.
What do you dip these in?
Filipinos traditionally dip these in a combo of vinegar/garlic/salt/pepper/chili peppers or the sugared up sweet and spicy chili sauce.
G Hughes has a sugar free chili sauce that you can buy.
You can also make your own at home!
