Lumpia is a Filipino version of American egg rolls, only better… it is tastier and it is more packed with flavor. This is very famous in the Philippines and it is sold in any high and low-end Philippine restaurants. It is also ever-present in any Filipino parties. Before I will show you this recipe, I have to give you a warning; because Lumpia is a highly addictive viand and once you learn how to cook this, your friends will be asking you to bring it to their parties. So you better up your ante and gear up your patience because some people will bother you to bring some.

This is an image on how to wrap Filipino Lumpia when the filling is already cooked.

Another thing about Lumpia, is that it has so many versions and that you can customize the filling according to your liking. last night I made the pre cooked filling in my Easy Filipino Lumpia Recipe post. I also made a vegan version of this, which by the way I still have to post, and I made it the last time with the filling already pre-cooked. Whichever route you choose, the taste does not fail you. It is delicious each time.

So many people get intimidated making Lumpia but there is nothing difficult about it. All you have to do is slice the veggies and chop them and add the ground pork. Then the wrapping part of the Lumpia comes in, and it becomes a challenge; because the number rule of Lumpia is to tightly wrap it. IT HAS TO BE WRAPPED TIGHTLY OR, OIL SEEPS IN WHEN YOU FRY IT. So practice is your friend here. You just need a bit of perseverance on it and in no time, you will become a pro…

So many Filipinos around the globe make their Lumpia for various reasons… to share with friends, bring to a potluck or to simply share a Filipino food tradition. In my case, aside from showing off Lumpia to my colleagues, I make it all the time at home as a go-to food to save me whenever I am not in the mood to cook. Since it is very freezable I make tons of these and freeze them for future use. One particular example of this is in my post Leftover Turkey Noodle Soup .I made that soup so early in the morning and since I have my frozen Lumpia in the fridge, I just fried it as an extra meal for breakfast.
