Lumpia Lumpias Recipes

FILIPINO LUMPIA

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.

HOMEMADE LUMPIA RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

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.

LUMPIA / LUMPIAS

Steps:

• Begin thawing the frozen spring roll wrappers 30 minutes before using. When thawed, cover the stack with a moist towel so they don't dry out. I keep a spray bottle of pure water on hand to spritz it periodically. Spring rolls are very fragile, so handle carefully.
• Combine meat, carrot, onion, water chestnuts and cabbage in a large bowl and mix well.
• Add soy sauce, pepper and garlic, and mix thoroughly again.
• Over medium heat, cook this mixture, breaking up meat as it browns, for about 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Drain.
• Gently peel one wrapper from the stack (recover with damp cloth) and place it on a flat surface with one of the corners pointing toward you.
• Place a loosely-packed 1/4 cup of the meat filling in a horizontal line across the wrapper leaving about 2 inches of wrapper on the left and right ends of the filling.
• Roll the corner nearest you up over the filling, very gently tucking the tip of that corner under the meat. Roll as tightly as possible about halfway up.
• Then tuck in the left and right corners (these will be the lumpia ends) and continue rolling the lumpia as tightly as possible, but gently, away from you until it's a complete cylinder.
• Moisten the last corner furthest from you (a squirt bottle comes in handy here) to seal the wrapper, and then place it on a plate until cooking. You can also just dip your fingers in water and seal that way as well.
• Continue rolling all lumpias in this fashion until the meat mixture is finished.
• Heat oil to about 350°F.
• Turning once halfway through cooking, fry no more than 3 lumpia at a time, or the temperature change will be too drastic to cook them properly. Too low and they'll become too greasy; too high and they'll burn....as demonstrated rather skillfully in my photographs. *lol*. Total fry time is entirely dependent on the color you want your lumpias to have. Since the filling is actually already cooked, you don't need to worry about under-cooking! It's almost idiot-proof, unless you're me and believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, that you CAN multitask. I like a medium-dark golden color which was achieved (after a bit of trial and error) after about 2 minutes per side.
• Drain on paper towels and serve with dipping sauce.

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.

LUMPIA

Steps:

• Heat oil in skillet and saute garlic and onions until tender. Add pork and saute until browned. Add vegetables and cook until tender, yet crisp, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with soy sauce. When mixture is cool, add bean sprouts. Salt to taste.
• To assemble lumpia: Carefully separate wrappers. To prevent them from drying out, cover unused wrappers with moist paper towel. Lay one wrapper on clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the edge closest to you. Roll edge towards the middle. Fold in both sides and continue rolling. Moisten opposite edge with water to seal. Repeat with other wrappers. Lumpia can be frozen until ready to use.
• Deep fry at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with Sweet and Sour or Vinegar and Garlic Dipping Sauce.
• In a small pan combine vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, water, sugar and salt, and boil for 2 minutes. Thicken with cornstarch mixture.
• Mix together all ingredients.

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 (SHANGHAI VERSION)

Steps:

• In a Large bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, onion, and carrot. Make sure to completely mix everything. I suggest getting down and dirty and use your hands. Knead the meat in the bowl if you must. Gradually blend in the soy sauce , black pepper, garlic powder, and salt until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Lay out a few wrappers at a time on a flat surface, and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in a line down the center of the wrapper. Make sure the filling is no thicker than your thumb, or the wrapper will cook faster than the meat. 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, and have hubby or the kids help you out.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry 3 or 4 lumpia at a time. Fry for about 3 or 4 minutes, turning once. Lumpia are cooked through when they float, and the wrapper is golden brown. Cut in half, or serve as is with dipping sauce. We like sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce with lemon, or banana ketchup.

LUMPIA IN THE AIR FRYER

Steps:

• Remove casing from sausage and cook in a skillet over medium heat until slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add green onions, onions, carrots, and water chestnuts. Cook and stir until onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with soy sauce, salt, and ginger. Stir until filing is well combined and remove from heat.
• Lay a spring roll wrapper at an angle. Place a scant 1/4 cup filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling and tuck in the sides to form a roll. Use your finger to lightly moisten edges with water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Mist each roll with avocado oil spray.
• Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (198 degrees C). Place lumpia rolls in the basket, making sure they are not touching; cook in batches if necessary. Fry for 4 minutes; flip and cook until skins are crispy, about 4 minutes more.
