How to use spring roll skin for lumpia?

If using spring roll wrapper: Fold the bottom edge over the filling and roll the filling up one more round. Then fold the left and right flaps towards the center. Brush the tip of the wrapper (about 1 to 2 inches) with a thin layer of egg wash and roll the lumpia all the way up to seal.

What's the difference between lumpia wrappers and spring roll wrappers?

In the Philippines, spring rolls are called lumpia. They're usually filled with pork and vegetables like cabbage and carrots, although some lumpia contain seafood. The wrappers are thinner than spring roll wrappers , and they're pan-fried in hot oil until crispy and flaky.

What kind of wrappers are used for lumpia?

Lumpia wrappers are the Filipino version of spring roll wrappers . Both are thin and delicate yet sturdy enough to contain a variety of fillings. But a standard lumpia wrapper recipe uses flour instead of rice. They are circular like French crepes rather than squares or rectangles.

How do you make lumpia stay crispy?

The best way to keep fried foods crispy is to serve them immediately after frying . If you have to hold them for any length of time, place them on a baking sheet, in a single layer, and keep them warm in a low oven. 150 degrees will do the trick.

How do I use spring roll wrappers?

*When making spring and summer rolls, for the best results, soften the wrappers in water (as directed on the package), use fresh ingredients in the filling, and roll up tight . Don't soak the wrappers, just moisten them or they'll be a struggle to work with!

What is a good substitute for lumpia wrappers?

Wonton wrappers will work BUT the lumpia will look bubbly on the outside. To make these gluten-free, you can opt to use rice paper instead of lumpia wrappers, just as you would in Vietnamese Spring Rolls.

Can I use wonton wrappers for lumpia?

Using wonton wrappers for the wrap make everything is easy . It's simple yet yummy.

What do you use to seal lumpia wrappers?

Like many pastries that rely on a seal to hold all of the goodness inside, lumpia is often sealed with an egg wash . This works great to seal the dough, but it can be messy to work with. Lee's and Huang's trick, however, skips the stickiness. In the Reel, Huang uses the end of a banana, cut to about 1-inch.

What is the best oil for lumpia?

I recommend vegetable oil , which has a neutral flavor and a high smoking point, but peanut oil is a good alternative. Fry the lumpia in batches.

How do you seal lumpia wrappers without eggs?

They may be labeled lumpia skins or wrappers. Moistening wrappers: If egg is called for to seal a dumpling, use water or a combination of flour and water (make a paste of 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour with 2 ¼ teaspoon water).

How to use up leftover spring roll wrappers?

Use up leftover spring roll wrappers by slicing them thinly, then deep-frying oil until crispy . You can optionally season them with a dash of ikan bilis powder, chicken powder or mushroom seasoning. Allow to cool, then store in an airtight container and use as a crispy topping in congee and other dishes.

Can you fry spring roll skins?

And finally, you can also pan sear them with a couple tablespoons of oil on medium heat . Cook them for a couple minutes on each side until the skins are golden brown and the filling hot.

What can I use instead of lumpia wrappers?

Wonton wrappers will work BUT the lumpia will look bubbly on the outside. To make these gluten-free, you can opt to use rice paper instead of lumpia wrappers, just as you would in Vietnamese Spring Rolls.

Lumpia (In Spring Roll Wrappers) Recipe

Submitted by Papa D 1946-2012

"There are many combination's of Lumpia fillings and after trying many I came up with this, reminds me of how they tasted when I was in the Philippians. I prefer the authentic Lumpia wrapper (spring roll wrapper) as they are very thin and fry up nice and crisp. Opposed to the egg roll and wanton wrappers."

1 ¹⁄₄ lbs ground beef
¹⁄₂ cup minced scallion
1 medium carrot, minced
1 stalk celery, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Advertisem*nt

directions

Combine meat, vegetables, sauces and spices in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour for flavors to set.
Prepare wrapper as per package instructions and place on a work surface (should look like a diamond). Place 1 tablespoon of filling at the lower one third of the wrapper shape into a small strip about 3 inches long.
Fold bottom edge up, and then fold right side over followed by left side, then roll to complete. Seal end flap with water. (See note.) Finished Lumpia roll should be about 4 inches long.
After you have assembled all the Lumpia, heat your oil (I use deep fryer) to 375 degrees. Cook until golden brown, don't over crowed, turning often, approximately 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Place remaining uncooked Lumpia in a freezer bag and freeze. I will heat my fryer and place these right in frozen, a few at a time and they come out great.
For a dipping sauce I use Mae Ploy* sweet chili sauce or a good sweet and sour sauce.
* Purchased at local Asian or Filipino store.
Note: the wrapper packages usually have instructions for rolling the wrap.

Very good indeed! I used the new individual layered lumpia wrappers and it was a breeze to make. We liked everything about these lumpia...great taste, good looking and easy to make. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 6.

Very good. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars in strictly my own fault....I used won-ton wrappers instead of lumpia skins because I didn't have time to go all the way to the Asian mart, and my local store only had won-ton wrappers. The won-ton skins are too thick for such a skinny roll, and they definitely don't crisp up like the lumpia skins! The filling, however was delicious! My celery was yucky when I pulled it out of the fridge, so I subsituted waterchestnuts. I will absolutely be making these again, but using the right wrapper! Thanks for sharing!

This is a 4.5 star recipe. I would have given it a 5 except that it didn't make the amount stated. With that said these are awesome tasting. I did cut the recipe in half and used the REQUIRED (spring roll wrappers). I made as posted except for the dipping sauce which I used a sweet chili sauce by "Mae Ploy". I have a recipe from a girl that I used to work wit. She was from the Philippians and these are real close to hers. She would make them for the office at least once a month and always served them with the sweet chili sauce. Thanks Papa D for posting. Made for PAC spring 08'
