Chicken Lumpia Recipes

CHICKEN LUMPIA

Steps:

• In a large nonstick pan, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onion, celery, garlic, bouillon cubes, pepper, and tomato for 10 minutes.
• Add chicken. Do not add water. Cook for 5 minutes, until heated through.
• Add salt, mushrooms, and green beans. Saute 5 minutes.
• Add cabbage. Stir well and saute 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
• Once mixture is cool, start rolling: Place 1 wrapper in front of you, diagonally (so it looks like a diamond, not a square).
• Put about 1/2 cup filling in a rectangular mound in the middle of the wrapper.
• Fold bottom point up, and then side points into the middle.
• Moisten the top edge with water, and roll the bottom up, until you have a long thin cylinder.
• Continue for the other 17 wrappers.
• NOTE: Do not make these too wet when you seal them, and lay them out in one layer, not touching each other if possible. Otherwise they will stick to each other, and you'll never get them apart cleanly. Experience talking here. :).
• Fry lumpia in several inches of oil heated to 375 degrees F for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

LUMPIA

Steps:

• In a food processor, chop the garlic as small as possible. Add the green onion and yellow onion and pulse to a similar size as the garlic. Add and pulse the shiitake mushroom caps and water chestnuts until all are a similar size. Add the shrimp and pulse until the shrimp are a coarse hamburger grind. Add the ground pork, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar and pepper and mix all thoroughly. Transfer to a bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat 1 inch frying oil to 350 to 360 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot.
• Carefully peel one wrapper off the stack. Orient the wrapper square to the edge of the counter, not diagonal. Scoop about a heaping tablespoon (approximately 1 ounce) of the filling and spread it about an inch from the edge closest to you and about 1/2 inch from each side. Brush all of the edges with the egg wash. Fold the edges in on the sides and begin rolling the bottom of the wrapper to the top, making a tight rope. Make sure when you finish rolling that the egg wash has sealed the roll. Place the lumpia seam-side down on a plate while you make the remaining lumpia. (This amount of filling should make approximately 30 rolls. (These could be made smaller for appetizers.)
• Fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove to drain on a rack or paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chile sauce mixed with vinegar to taste.

TRADITIONAL FILIPINO LUMPIA

Steps:

• Place a wok or large skillet over high heat, and pour in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Cook pork, stirring frequently, until no pink is showing. Remove pork from pan and set aside. Drain grease from pan, leaving a thin coating. Cook garlic and onion in the same pan for 2 minutes. Stir in the cooked pork, carrots, green onions, and cabbage. Season with pepper, salt, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Remove from heat, and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Place three heaping tablespoons of the filling diagonally near one corner of each wrapper, leaving a 1 1/2 inch space at both ends. Fold the side along the length of the filling over the filling, tuck in both ends, and roll neatly. Keep the roll tight as you assemble. Moisten the other side of the wrapper with water to seal the edge. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap to retain moisture.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat, add oil to 1/2 inch depth, and heat for 5 minutes. Slide 3 or 4 lumpia into the oil. Fry the rolls for 1 to 2 minutes, until all sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

UNCLE REY'S LUMPIA

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a small stockpot, cover with water and add the carrots, celery, and onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and starting to fall from the bone.
• Remove the chicken from the pot; set aside to cool. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pull the meat from the bones. Put bones and skin back into the stockpot. Turn the heat up and bring the liquid back to a boil. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Strain out the bones and vegetables, and put the liquid back into the pot and season with salt and pepper.
• Add the beans and bean sprouts to the stock and simmer until beans are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the pulled chicken meat to the stock and mix well. Remove from heat and strain the chicken and vegetable filling until dry. Let cool completely before making the lumpia, at least 15 minutes.
• Place 1 wrapper on the table or cutting board and put 1/4 cup of the chicken filling in the lower quarter of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling, then roll over once. Fold in the ends to seal in the filling, then continue folding over until almost to the top. Brush the edge of the wrapper with egg, fold over, and seal. Continue making the lumpia until the filling is used up.
• Heat about 1 1/2 inches of vegetable or canola oil to 350 degrees F in a medium-sized, deep-sided sauce pan. Place the lumpia in the hot oil a few at a time, turning each one until they are golden brown. Remove from the oil and place onto paper towels to remove excess oil.
• Mix soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic together. Serve lumpia with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Make the filling: Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and carrot. Cook for 4 minutes, or until the onion is slightly translucent.
• Add the ground pork and cook for about 6 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Add the water chestnuts, salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Stir for 2 minutes, then mix in the green onion and cilantro. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
• Heat about an inch (2 cm) of canola oil in a deep, medium frying pan until it reaches 300°F (150°C).
• Lay out one lumpia wrapper in a diamond shape and spoon 2 tablespoons of filling at the bottom of the wrapper, leaving about an inch and a half (3 cm) of space from the bottom point.
• Fold the bottom point over the filling, then fold in the edges to create an envelope shape. Roll the wrapper toward the top point. Brush the top point with egg wash and finish the roll to seal the end.
• Carefully place four to five lumpia at a time in the hot oil. Frying on each side for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Note: If the lumpia are cooking too fast or burning, reduce the heat.
• Remove the lumpia from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
• Sprinkle with a garnish of cilantro and serve with sweet chili dipping sauce. Optional: Cut lumpia in half.
• Enjoy!

LUMPIA (LUMPIANG SHANGHAI) RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

LUMPIA AYAM SAYUR (CHICKEN AND GARLIC SPRING ROLLS)

Steps:

• Place the noodles in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water. Leave to soak for 10 minutes (or follow the packet instructions). Once softened, drain and return to the bowl, tossing in a little oil to prevent them from sticking. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over a high heat and add the mince. Stirring continuously, fry the ground chicken until cooked through and well browned. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat another 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan over a medium-high heat, add the mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. Add the carrots and bean sprouts and stir for 1 minute, then add the garlic and cook for a further 1 minute. Return the cooked chicken to the pan along with the noodles and spring onions, stirring for a further 1 minute. Finally, add the kecap manis, oyster sauce, fish sauce and lime juice, then continue to cook for a further 2 minutes or until the sauce is clinging to the meat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. (It is better for the filling to taste fairly strong at this stage because the spring roll wrapper absorbs a lot of the flavor during cooking.) Set aside to cool.
• Lay a clean tea towel over the spring roll wrappers to prevent them from drying out. Line a tray with baking parchment. Cut a chunk of banana with the skin on to use as glue for the spring roll. (Alternatively, you can use beaten egg.) Peel one wrapper off the top of the pile and lay it on a chopping board, facing you like a diamond. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the filling on the bottom third of the wrapper. Roll the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling and then continue rolling until you reach the middle. Fold in the left and right corners, then rub the flesh of the banana along the edges of the exposed top corner of the wrapper. (If using beaten egg, brush this on instead.) Finish rolling up the rest of the wrapper and seal the final corner. Place the spring roll on the tray. Repeat with more wrappers until all the filling is used up.
• Fill a deep saucepan one-third full with oil. Heat the oil to 320°F/160°C. (If you do not have a kitchen thermometer, check the oil is at temperature by adding a cube of bread; it should turn golden in 25-30 seconds.)
• Carefully lower 4-6 spring rolls into the hot oil, without overcrowding the pan. Deep-fry for 4-6 minutes or until golden all over. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining spring rolls. Serve immediately, with sambal or dipping sauce, if you like.
• Do Ahead: The spring rolls can be frozen in a single layer on a tray, then piled into a bag or container and kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. If cooking from frozen, cook for 6-7 minutes, or until golden. Once cooked they last for up to 2 days in the fridge and can be reheated in the oven for 10 minutes at 325°F/170°C/150°C fan/gas 3.
• Variations
• Vegetable spring rolls: Omit the ground meat from the recipe and instead triple the quantity of carrots, shiitake and bean sprouts. The remaining ingredients should stay the same. If you want to make the recipe vegetarian, replace the oyster sauce and fish sauce with light soy sauce, adding a little at a time until you are happy with the flavor. Once added to the pan, simmer to reduce this extra soy sauce for a couple of minutes.
• Pan-fried spring rolls: Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat. Gently place the prepared spring rolls in the hot oil, cooking in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan. Continue turning the spring rolls in the hot oil until they are golden all over, about 5 minutes, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil, then to a baking tray lined with baking parchment, and finish cooking in the oven for 7-10 minutes.
