2/14/22, 7:37 PM Lumpia (Crispy Filipino Spring Rolls Recipe!) - Rasa Malaysia
Almost every country in Asia has its own interpretation of spring

rolls, or egg rolls in the United States. In the Philippines, spring
rolls are called lumpia.
In this lumpia recipe, Marvin, a native Filipino who blogs at Burnt

Lumpia will explain different types of lumpia and share
lumpiang Shanghai recipe with us.
WHAT IS A LUMPIA?
Many people wonder what does lumpia mean? Lumpia is a

Filipino word and it comes from the Chinese spring roll, with
veggies (like cabbage and carrots), meats (usually pork), and/or
seafood (sometimes shrimp) as the filling.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF LUMPIA
There are many types of lumpia, here are some of the most
popular ones:
Lumpiang Sariwa refers to “fresh” lumpia with veggies and

meat as the filling. You use a thin homemade crepe, instead
of spring roll wrappers to wrap them.
Lumpiang Hubad (naked lumpia) is made without a wrapper.
Lumpiang Prito is Filipino fried spring roll with meat and a

variety of vegetables as the filling.
HOW TO MAKE LUMPIA?
Below is the recipe for Lumpiang Shanghai with vegetables and

ground pork as the filling. For serving, you dip them into
Chinese sweet and sour sauce.
Lumpiang Shanghai are also thinner and smaller than its other
fried counterparts. Lumpiang Shanghai are very easy to make as
you just roll them up. They are perfect finger foods for parties!
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LUMPIA AND EGG ROLLS
Lumpia is the Filipino version of fried spring rolls. Egg rolls are
American version of Chinese spring rolls. Both share the same
origin but they taste and look different, with egg rolls being
bigger and “fatter” in shape.
CAN YOU FREEZE LUMPIA?
Yes, you can make lumpia ahead of time and freeze them in the
refrigerator. In case you are wondering how long does frozen
lumpia last? The answer is a long time. You can freeze them for
months in the freezer without going bad.
Just make sure that you thaw them to room temperature before
deep-frying.
HOW MANY CALORIES PER SERVING?
Each roll is only 65 calories.

Lumpia are Filipino fried spring rolls filled with ground pork
and mixed vegetables. This lumpia recipe is authentic and
yields the crispiest lumpia ever. Serve them as an appetizer
or finger food, with a sweet and sour dipping sauce.
PREP TIME COOK TIME TOTAL TIME

30 minutes 10 minutes 40 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 package Lumpia wrappers (Chinese or Vietnamese

spring roll wrappers meant for frying can be used) (25
sheets)
2 lbs. (1 kg) ground pork
5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 inch (2 cm) ginger, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder, optional
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 oz. (170 g) cabbage, thinly sliced
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Using a serrated knife, cut the square lumpia wrappers in

half so that you have two stacks of rectangular wrappers.
Place a damp paper towel over the wrappers to keep
them from drying out as you work.
2. Combine the pork, cabbage, garlic, ginger, soy sauce,
chicken bouillon powder (if using), eggs, and ground
black pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands, or a
rubber spatula, mix the filling well so that the seasonings

are evenly distributed.
3. Place one of the rectangular wrappers vertically on your
work surface with the short edge facing you. Place a
heaping teaspoon of the filling on the wrapper about half
an inch from the edge closest to you. Grasp the bottom
edge of the wrapper and roll it up and over the filling,
continuing to roll until 2 inches of wrapper remain.
4. Dip two fingers into a bowl of water, then moisten the

last 2 inches of wrapper with your fingers. Finish rolling
the lumpia, then rest it on its seam. Continue rolling with
the rest of the filling and lumpia wrappers.
5. At this point, you can freeze your rolled lumpia if you
wish by placing them in freezer bags and then into your
freezer.
6. To cook the lumpia, fill a large frying pan with about 1/2-
inch of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Gently place the lumpia into the hot oil and fry until
golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total (if frying
frozen lumpia, it will take 1 to 2 minutes longer).
7. Place the fried lumpia on paper towels and serve
immediately with sweet and sour sauce or chili sauce
(bottled from the store is fine).

guide.
Recipe Contributor: Marvin at Burnt Lumpia.
You can also add finely minced raw shrimp to the pork
mixture if you'd like. Also, instead of ground pork, you can
use ground beef or ground turkey.
You can use Chinese or Vietnamese spring roll wrappers (for

deep-frying) if you can't find lumpia wrappers.

Can I use phyllo sheets in stead of spring roll wrappers?
REPLY
Rasa Malaysia at
No, phyllo sheets are too thin and won’t work well.
REPLY
Shar from N.Cali at
For sauces, one can use Thai Sweet Chili sauce or a Filipino vinegar-
soy sauce-garluc dipping sauce called suka.

they’re best eaten hot and fresh, or if they’re sitting out for a party.
they’re not as good when they’re eaten as leftovers after they’ve
been refrigerated.
