Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package Lumpia wrappers (Chinese or Vietnamese spring roll wrappers meant for frying can be used) (25 sheets)
2 lbs. (1 kg) ground pork
5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 inch (2 cm) ginger, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder, optional
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 oz. (170 g) cabbage, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Using a serrated knife, cut the square lumpia wrappers in half so that you have two stacks of rectangular wrappers. Place a damp paper towel over the wrappers to keep them from drying out as you work.
  • Combine the pork, cabbage, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, chicken bouillon powder (if using), eggs, and ground black pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands, or a rubber spatula, mix the filling well so that the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  • Place one of the rectangular wrappers vertically on your work surface with the short edge facing you. Place a heaping teaspoon of the filling on the wrapper about half an inch from the edge closest to you. Grasp the bottom edge of the wrapper and roll it up and over the filling, continuing to roll until 2 inches of wrapper remain.
  • Dip two fingers into a bowl of water, then moisten the last 2 inches of wrapper with your fingers. Finish rolling the lumpia, then rest it on its seam. Continue rolling with the rest of the filling and lumpia wrappers.
  • At this point, you can freeze your rolled lumpia if you wish by placing them in freezer bags and then into your freezer.
  • To cook the lumpia, fill a large frying pan with about 1/2-inch of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Gently place the lumpia into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total (if frying frozen lumpia, it will take 1 to 2 minutes longer).
  • Place the fried lumpia on paper towels and serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce or chili sauce (bottled from the store is fine).

FILIPINO LUMPIA



Filipino Lumpia image

My stepmother is Filipino. I would watch her make these on special occasions. She never measured what she did, but I think I've got the knack of it. This is one of the best Filipino foods next to pancit - and unfortunately, I don't know how to make that!! You can find lumpia wrappers in Asian food stores wherever they keep their frozen food, and also (if you're lucky) in very large supermarkets.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Filipino

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12 ounce) package lumpia wrappers
1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork
⅓ cup finely chopped onion
⅓ cup finely chopped green bell pepper
⅓ cup finely chopped carrot
1 quart oil for frying

Steps:

  • Make sure the lumpia wrappers are completely thawed. Lay several out on a clean dry surface and cover with a damp towel. The wrappers are very thin and the edges will dry out quickly.
  • In a medium bowl, blend together the ground beef and pork, onion, green pepper and carrot. Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture along the center of the wrapper. The filling should be no bigger around than your thumb or the wrapper will burn before the meat is cooked. Fold one edge of the wrapper over to the other. Fold the outer edges in slightly, then continue to roll into a cylinder. Wet your finger, and moisten the edge to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, keeping finished lumpias covered to prevent drying. This is a good time to recruit a friend or loved one to make the job less repetitive!!
  • Heat oil in a 9 inch skillet at medium to medium high heat until oil is 365 to 375 degrees F (170 to 175 degrees C) Fry 3-4 lumpia at a time. It should only take about 2-3 minutes for each side. The lumpia will be nicely browned when done. Drain on paper towels.
  • You can cut each lumpia into thirds for parties, if you like. In the Philippines, lumpia was eaten with banana ketchup, but I've never seen it sold in America.

Provided by Mrs Goodall

Categories     Filipino

Time 1h

Yield 25 each, 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

25 spring roll wrappers
1 lb ground lean pork
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, minced
1 medium carrot, peeled and grated
1/2 cup celery, diced into small pieces
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 egg white, for sealing rolls
2 -4 cups canola oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine pork, garlic, onion, carrot, celery, soy sauce, egg, salt and pepper. Carefully separate the wrappers. To prevent them from drying out as you work, keep a barely damp paper towel over the unused wrappers.
  • Lay one wrapper on clean surface. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling diagonally near one corner of the wrapper and gently push the filling into about 4-inch log, leaving a 1½ inch space at both ends. Fold the side nearest to you over the filling, then fold in both sides and roll neatly and tight. Moisten the other side of the wrapper with beaten egg white to seal the edge. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap to retain moisture. Repeat with remaining wrappers. At this point, lumpia can be frozen until ready to use.
  • In a deep pan, add the oil to about 1-inch depth and heat to 350°F Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the wrappers by testing the edge of one. If it sizzles and bubbles, then the oil is ready. Carefully slide the lumpia, a few at a time, into the oil and fry until crispy and golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Do not overcrowd pan during frying. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Ensure that oil is back to 350 degrees before frying the next batch.

Categories     Snacks

Time 1h30m

Yield 50 Lumpias

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 small carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.54 cm) pieces
1 small sweet onion, quartered
1 water chestnut
1 lb ground pork
3 green onions, thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Maggi seasoning
1 teaspoon sugar
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 package Filipino lumpia wrappers, thawed (preferably Pamana or Tropics brand)
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
canola oil, for frying
Banana ketchup, sweet chili sauce, or sweet and sour sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the carrots, onion, and water chestnuts to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the vegetables are finely chopped, but not ground into a paste.
  • Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl with the ground pork, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, Knorr seasoning, sugar, black pepper, and egg. Stir with a fork until well combined; do not overmix. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Gently separate the lumpia wrappers from one another and cover with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
  • Add the flour and water to a small bowl and whisk to combine, making sure there are no lumps.
  • Assemble the lumpia: Scoop 5 tablespoons (52 grams) of the filling onto the center of a lumpia wrapper and shape into a horizontal line, all the way across the wrapper. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling and start to roll tightly. Brush the flour paste on the top edge of the wrapper, then continue rolling to seal. Transfer to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Cut each lumpia crosswise into 4 equal pieces.
  • If desired, arrange the lumpia in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other. Freeze until solid, 2-3 hours, then transfer to an airtight container. The lumpia will keep in the freezer for 3-4 weeks.
  • When ready to fry, pour 1 inch of canola oil into a large pot and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and set a wire rack on top.
  • Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, add the lumpia to the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to the wire rack to drain and repeat with the remaining lumpia, allowing the oil to return to temperature between batches.
  • Serve the lumpia with your favorite sauce for dipping.
  • Enjoy!

EASY FILIPINO LUMPIA RECIPE



Easy Filipino Lumpia Recipe image

Basic Filipino Lumpia Recipe -There are so many ways in cooking and making lumpia, but I will share with you a lumpia recipe which is pretty much a base recipe for your lumpia. You can customize this recipe according to your liking. You can add, shrimp, add shredded cabbage, spinach and bean sprouts ( my most favorite) or change the meat into ground turkey or ground pork

Provided by candidshot2000

Categories     Asian

Time 1h5m

Yield 50 pieces of lumpia, 50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 stem leeks or 1 medium size onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/4 cups carrots, chopped
2 lbs ground beef
2 tablespoons cooking oil
dark soy sauce

Steps:

  • Heat cooking oil in a skillet. Add in garlic and leeks and cook for around 2 minutes. Add carrots and cook for additional 2 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until there is no more redness of the beef ( or until the meat is cooked through).Remove or drain excess oil. Season with soy sauce or salt and pepper. Let cool before preparing the Lumpia.
  • TO ASSEMBLE:.
  • Prepare a bowl of water to use as sealant. Gently separate the lumpia wrapper as they are very frail and thin. Then place them one at a time on a flat surface or on the large plate. Place a heaping 2 to 3 tablespoon of the filling diagonally near the one corner of the wrapper - leaving 1 1/2 inch space on each corner. Take the bottom and top edges of the wrapper and fold them towards the center. Take the left and right sides, and fold them towards the center. Moisten the last edge of the wrapper to seal. Now repeat using the rest of the wrappers. You can cook the lumpia right away or you can freeze them. I usually line the lumpia with an inch distance from each other on a cookie sheet and freeze them then when they are hard, put them together in a zip loc. It will prevent the lumpia from sticking to each other. You do not need to thaw the lumpia when you are ready to cook them.Cook 3 to 4 pieces at a time by deep frying. Make sure to cook it in medium fire and that it is cook through in the inside. Sometimes, I have to re cook the Lumpia because of this.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your lumpia a more vibrant flavor and texture.
  • Don't overfill the lumpia wrappers. If you do, they will be difficult to roll and seal, and they may burst open during frying.
  • Be careful not to overcook the lumpia. They should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy, but not so long that they become dry and tough.
  • Serve the lumpia with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, and vinegar.

Conclusion:

Lumpia is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. It is a popular dish in the Philippines and is also enjoyed in many other countries around the world. With its crispy wrapper and flavorful filling, lumpia is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
