Lumpiang Shanghai Recipe
This simple Filipino egg roll recipe is a classic and a fam favorite!
Servings 15 lumpia
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green Cabbage thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup Yellow Onion diced
- ⅓ cup Green Onions sliced
- ½ cup Carrot shredded
- 1 tbs Soy Sauce
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- ¼ tsp Ginger Powder
- 1 lb. Ground Pork Turkey or Beef (PORK IS BEST)
- 1 Package Lumpia Wrappers defrosted
- About 2 cups Canola Oil may sub any oil with a high smoke point for frying
Instructions
- Over medium high heat, sauté the green cabbage, yellow onion, green onion, carrot, soy sauce, garlic powder and ginger powder in 1 tbs oil.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften, and stir in the ground meat. Cook for another 5 minutes and no pink remains. Set mixture aside to cool.
- Peel the lumpia wrappers apart by first gently bending them in different directions to loosen and then slowly peeling them apart. Keeping a damp hand towel over the lumpia will help them to remain pliable and not brittle.
- Set the lumpia wrappers in a diamond shape and place 2 tbs of the filling into the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the corner over and upward making a log shape with the filling. Fold not the side corners inward and roll the lumpia up and seal the edges with water.
- Bring about a ½ inch of frying oil to approximately 350F and fry the lumpias for 1-2 minutes or until evenly golden brown.
Notes
Can be kept in an air tight container, in the fridge, up to 2 days. Reheated is best by frying, air frying or microwave, as they will soften when refrigerated.
May be frozen for up to 3 months and reheated by either air frier at 375F for 4-5minutes or microwaved.
Do not deep fry a frozen Lumpia.
My Family's Additions: a strip of cheddar cheese and sometimes we add jicamas or raisins. As mentioned, everyone has different family recipes, but I kept the above basic.
