The recipe for the fresh lumpia wrapper I got from a Filipino friend of mine and the recipe for the filling I got from a Filipino vegetarian cookbook called "Cooking Smart" by Blecenda Miranda-Varona and David Arsulo Varona. I used the Recipe #295447 by Chef #803511 to go with it.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups water
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 -3 tablespoons canola oil
1 lb veggie crumbles (Any ground vegemeat will work. You can also use gluten, TVP, or your favorite)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 head garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 carrot, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cream of mushroom soup, powder
1/4 cup cilantro (The recipe actually calls for 1/2 cup kinchay which looks exactly like cilantro, you really can't te)
salt, to taste
canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Lumpia Wrapper:.
  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, water, cornstarch, flour, and salt until smooth. Strain batter.
  • Place a non-stick 8-inch omlet pan over medium heat until hot and brush with a little oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the pan so the batter covers the entire surface.
  • Cook until the edge of the wrapper is lightly browned and the surface looks dry; about 45 seconds. Loosen edge with spatula, turn wrapper, and cook 10 seconds longer. Turn wrapper out of the pan and onto a plate.
  • Repeat to use all of the batter.
  • Filling:.
  • Saute garlic and onion in 1 Tbsp oil for about a minutes.
  • Add all ingredients except the lumpia wrappers and the oil for frying. Cook for about 2 more minutes.
  • Spoon some of the filling mixture onto a wrapper and roll folding over and tucking the side in like you would a spring roll or egg roll.
  • Heat oil for frying in a pan and fry the lumpia and filling until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce or fresh calamansi (small round fruit in the Philippines that tastes like limes but with a slightly sweeter taste).

Tips:

  • To make the lumpia wrappers, use a thin and pliable dough. You can use store-bought spring roll wrappers or make your own using a simple recipe.
  • When filling the lumpia, be sure to spread the mixture evenly across the wrapper. This will help to ensure that the lumpia cooks evenly.
  • To prevent the lumpia from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or spray the pan with cooking spray.
  • Cook the lumpia over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the lumpia with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or vinegar.
