My first attempt at making lumpia. Made a resolution this year to dive deeper into my Filipino heritage and what better way to start than with food.

Edit: Wow, hi fp! So, simple recipe time!!

Lumpia is all in the wraps. Go to an Asian market and find (in the cold section) a box that literally says Lumpia product of the Philippines on it. Next for the filling.

1lbs of beef (you can do 2/3lbs beef and 1/3lbs pork if you like)

5 BABY carrots (must be baby carrots for some reason, that's what I was told) diced small

2 GREEN onions (regular onions don't cut it) diced small

1/2 a green bell pepper diced small

Salt, pepper, garlic powder

The filling can have other things you want if you like but this is common ingredients my dad's family uses for theirs.

Then fry in oil until golden. Length of time can very with how thick the wrap is but try to keep the wraps rather small. When you see the Lumpia wraps themselves you'll understand why.

And that's all it takes! Now go out there and eat like a true Filipino!

Yes and now you have to make chocolate stew with lichon.

Unless you are very careful baby carrots are just normal carrots cut down to shape..

Usually they are smaller and mis-shapen carrots, which usually leads to a slightly sweeter flavor. This is due to me making this up.

Best dip for it is half soy sauce, half vinegar (to taste) and a bunch of minced garlic

Why does it need to be Baby Carrots? They're just normal carrots cut into that shape :S

No idea, that's just what my mom told me and she learned the recipe from my dad.

I never knew they were just large carrots cut down until last year. It's not really common knowledge I guess lol

Lechon is the food of gods. When it's done well (juicy, tender meat with crunchy, crackly skin) it's hard to find anything better.

Tbh it freaked me out first time I had it. Since it was the full pig and all but after I tried it.... I ate so much

Oh yeah it's terrifying looking, I avoided it until it was put on a plate.

"spring roll"

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

Egg roll. I don’t know why they’re confused for each other

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

egg rolls use thicker wrap material and typically have meat. spring rolls use thin wraps, are smaller, and are usually vegetarian.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Spring roll I thinkof the Vietnamese rice wrap. Egg roll is the the ones we see here with egg based wrap and deep fried.Technically ur right

Navy brat here. My childhood involved a lot of lumpia and pancit as well! Filipino moms always make enough for an army. :)

And you can't say no because its rude. Then you go to your other friends house and have to eat there as well. Same at the next guys house.

And then your mom gets pissed because you hardly touch the baked chicken breast, mixed veggies and box mashed potatoes she made.

I do. More accurate I like fake mashed potatoes and appreciate that my parents worked full time to give me advantages in life.
