- ~20 springroll wrappers
- 2 tsp cornstarch (dissolved with 2 tsp water), for sealing
- 0.5 lbs ground pork
- 35 g onion, minced

- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt, to taste
- 1 tsp fish sauce

- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- 1
In a food processor, combine together the onions, garlic, carrot, and celery. Pulse until finely minced.
- 2
Add the minced veggies to a bowl. Combine with the ground pork, garlic powder, onion powder, cornstarch, salt, fish sauce, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
- 3
Cut a slit through the centre of the chili. Using a spoon, carefully scrape out the pith and seeds until hollowed. Repeat with all remaining chilies.
- 4
Fill each chili with the lumpia filling and place a slice of cheese in the middle.

To roll the lumpia, fold one corner of the springroll wrapper inwards and place the stuffed pepper in the centre with the stem sticking out. Fold the bottom corner to the center to cover the pepper. Then roll the entire pepper, tightly enclosing it with the wrapper, and sealing it with the cornstarch-water mixture.

Fry for 5-7 minutes or until the lumpia is golden and crispy and the inside is cooked all the way through. Let cool slightly. Serve with sweet chili sauce, if desired. Enjoy!
