Filipino Egg Rolls (Lumpia) are one of the best finger foods for parties like Superbowl. I’m going to post a quick recipe here to add into a roundup I’m currently working on. Enjoy.
These babies need to be wrapped a day ahead. You can find the egg roll wrappers at any Oriental store. Some regular grocery stored have them now too. Also, for the veggies, I suggest you buy the packed shredded carrots and cabbages from the vegetable section. It’s actually the coleslaw pack. Just add chopped garlic and onions at home.
- Brown ground beef, drain most of the oil. Leave a little bit for sauteing the rest of the ingredients.
- Add garlic and onions. Let them cook.
- Add the shredded veggies (coleslaw pack). Stir, then season with salt and pepper.
- Just let everything cook. Let them cool for a few minutes before wrapping the egg rolls.
To really serve yourself time, wrap the egg rolls the day before. Store ‘em in the fridge then just fry them up an hour before your party guests arrive. If you’re not having a party, store the egg rolls in the freezer. Take a few out on days you feel like eating some egg rolls.
To fry these up, heat oil in a pan. Fry each sides of the egg rolls. The filling is already cooked so you won’t have to fry ‘em too long.
Make sure to put them in a strainer to drain the oil once fried.
Dip the egg rolls on Sweet & Sour sauce. You can find those in any Oriental store or Oriental aisle at any grocery stores.
Greetings. Very first I need to say that I actually like your blog, just identified it last week but I’ve been following it sometimes since then.
I seem to agree with most of your ideas and opinions and this submit is no different. totally
Thank you for a fantastic blog and I hope you retain up the good function. If you do I will carry on to checked out it.
Have a good day.
So you’re Pilipino? My wife is also a Pilipino. I meet her in your country six years ago. You know what I like about Pilipino women? They are so good in term of cooking. I always love every food my wife cooked. I always asked her every time she cooked to include any Pilipino cuisine. Surely this recipe you made is the food called lumpia? Correct me if I am mistaken. I already eat it and super delicious especially with spicy sauce. I didn’t try it yet with sweet and sour sauce. Next time I will try to make a request to my wife.
