Lumpia Recipe

admin 54 Comments
In Filipino foods and recipe culture, lumpia are eggrolls that are deep-fried like a wrapped stick of meat. Lumpia is a spring roll filled with ground or finely mince of pork, beef or vegetables then served it with sweet and sour sauce. It is also known as lumpia shanghai. Filipinos are well known for its unique and one of a kind Lumpia recipe.

Lumpia are a type of stuffed pastry, like a spring roll. Lumpia or spring roll originated from the Chinese, and other Asian countries have their counterparts, like the popiah of Singapore and Malaysia. In Indonesia, it is also called lumpia.

The term lumpia derives from lunpia in the Hokkien dialect of Chinese. A variant is the Vietnamese lumpia, wrapped in a thinner piece of pastry, in a size close to a spring roll though the wrapping closes the ends off completely, which is typical for a lumpia .

Other Filipino variations of Lumpia

Lumpia Hubad
Lumpiang Hubad literally means naked spring roll. It is basically an unwrapped Lumpiang Sariwa (without the crepe).

Lumpiang Sariwa – Fresh lumpia
Lumpiang Sariwa, or fresh spring rolls in English, consist of minced ubod (heart of palm), flaked chicken, crushed peanuts, and turnips as an extender in a double wrapping of lettuce leaf and a yellowish egg crepe. The accompanying sauce is made from chicken or pork stock, a starch mixture, and fresh garlic. This variety is not fried and it is also the most popular among the Filipino variants.

Lumpiang Prito/Lumpiang Gulay or Fried Lumpia
Lumpiang Prito literally means fried spring roll. It consists of a briskly fried pancake filled with bean sprouts and various other vegetables such as string beans and carrots. Small morsels of meat or seafood may also be added. Though it is the least expensive of the variants, the preparation – the cutting of vegetables and meats into appropriately small pieces and subsequent pre-cooking – may prove taxing and labor-intensive. This variant may come in sizes as little as that of lumpiang shanghai or as big as that of lumpiang sariwa. It is usually eaten with vinegar and chili peppers.

Lumpiang Ubod
This is another variation of the Filipino spring rolls which is made from coconut julienne or heart of palm. Lumpiang Ubod is a specialty of Silay City, Negros Occidental.

Banana Lumpia or Turon
Banana lumpia or Turon is a Philippine dessert, made of thinly sliced bananas (preferably ripe plantains), a slice of jackfruit, dusted with brown sugar, rolled in a papery wrapper and fried. Brown sugar is further added while frying for additional sweetness.

Hope you enjoyed my Lumpia recipe post and become knowledgeable about the other lumpia variation in the Philippines.

    OMG!!! THANKYOUSOMUCH for posting this recipe! I worked at a bank almost ten years ago with a woman who made Lumpia for one of our potlucks that the tellers used to have every few months or so. I ate half of them, easily. I then took a plate full home to my boyfriend who demanded more! From then on out, I would sing Terry up to bring Lumpia to every party we had. She would laugh everytime and complain that she'd have to make three batches this time, one for her family, one for the party and one for me! I've thought of them many times over the years, but never thought to do a search for the recipe. OMG! I'm so excited! Thank you!!!

    Mmmmm…lumpia. First time I ever ttried them was at a party a friend was having shortly after his Filipina wife arrived in the USA. And I gotta tell you, I was hooked! I am now happily married to a Filipina who for some reason won't, or can't, make lumpia. But that's all right! I'll make 'em myself and surprise her some night after work! Thanks for the recipe.

    My favorite lumpia is Ubod 🙂 but I seldom have the chance to eat it. My daughter loves lumpia rolls so what I do is stuffed with so many carrots and just little meat.

    I love all the photos you've shared in this post! However, we do not make the fresh lumpia at home which I hope my mom would learn soon because this is the healthiest amongst the lumpia so far. Now I'm hungry and craving for one 🙂
