Lumpia (Filipino Spring Rolls) Recipe

January 27th, 2009 | Filipino Recipes | 35 Comments

Lumpiang Shanghai (Filipino Spring Rolls) Almost every country in Asia has its own interpretation of spring rolls, otherwise known as egg rolls in the United States. In the Philippines, spring rolls are called lumpia. When I thought of featuring lumpia recipe on Rasa Malaysia, I immediately thought Marvin, the author of the popular Filipino food blog Burnt Lumpia (no pun intended). In this guest post, Marvin explains the different types of lumpia and share his Lumpiang Shanghai recipe with us. Please welcome Burnt Lumpia.

Lumpiang Shanghai
Guest Writer: Burnt Lumpia

I couldn’t help but to giggle a bit when Rasa Malaysia asked me to be a guest writer for her blog–especially because she specifically requested that I write about the Filipino spring rolls known as Lumpia. Quite apropos, I thought, considering the name of my own blog “Burnt Lumpia.” Though I tried vigilantly to avoid any charring of any spring rolls for this post, the last one or two in my frying pan did set off the old smoke alarm, sometimes I can’t help myself…(get lumpia/lumpiang Shanghai recipe after the jump)

Even though I tout Rasa Malaysia as the online source for Asian cooking and recipes these days, I don’t have any Filipino recipes! When I started thinking about having Filipino guest writers, I immediately thought of ChichaJo of 80 Breakfasts. I adore her beautiful blog, writing style and fab food photography.

Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe (咕嚕肉)

(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)
Sweet and Sour Pork, the ubiquitous and arguably the most well-known Chinese recipes in the world, is a classic Cantonese dish. Called “咕嚕肉” or “goo lou yok” in Cantonese dialect, sweet and sour pork is very pleasing to the palate because of the flavorsome sweet and sour sauce–the sweetness from sugar plus the tangy…

Pot Stickers (锅贴)

While in Beijing, do load up on pot stickers or guotie (锅贴), which one can get pretty much anywhere in the city.
Here are the pot stickers at Made in China (长安壹号), a much celebrated Chinese restaurant in Beijing, located at the Grand Hyatt.
I love the shape, which is definitely a lot more easier to make than the traditional pleated version,…

Chinese Jiaozi Recipe (Pork and Chive Dumplings/韭菜饺子)

There is an age old saying that Chinese people live to eat, or in Chinese “民以食为天.” I am Chinese and I can strongly attest to the claim–Chinese people live for the sole purpose of eating and stuffing ourselves silly with food, food, and more food. If Maslow were to create a Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs for Chinese people, it would…

Minced Chicken and Pork Rolls/Jijuan Recipe (鸡卷)

Having a food blog is great, really.
Other than the dedication to constantly whipping up good food (and try not to repeat the same dish in order to generate new content!), I also learn to experiment with different cuisines and recipes that I wouldn’t have attempted otherwise. (I mean, why would I want to cook a dish when there is no…
