@freitasex ... I wasn't sure about the raisins, but they are truly what gives this dish a special taste. Thank you Thank you Thank you for sharing. The only thing I did different was instead of Ground pork I used Pork sausage. I just bought the wrong thing but it was AWESOME!
Good job in making your lumpia, it should not be far from the traditional filipino lumpia. I wanna try your ingredients myself. It does make me hungry, I am on my way in making my own version of lumpia..hehehe
This is actually a great example of how diverse cultural recipes are. I've eaten so many different recipes brought to Filipino picnics and weddings that it makes it fun to try all the different family styles. Think of it, every dish has hundreds of versions like pizzas or hamburgers. Once a dish lands in the U.S., it most certainly will under go change. I do both traditional Filipino recipe given me for lumpia and I have of coarse my own custom style. Very cool recipe!
I was taught: 1/3 ground beef, 1/3 grnd pork, 1/3 salad size shrimp...ALL fresh, so you can roll extras & store in freezer bags for later too. Mix in bowl with finely chopped green onions....Roll in wrappers (Menlo works well) about an inch thick at most. Now deep fry those puppies & dip in sweet & sour sauce. OMG!!! A pain in the A to make, but SO tasty! I took to wrapping a strand of wire around mine before lowering into fryer...to help prevent them "unrolling" before they "set". ENJOY!
That's certainly closer to lumpia than the other video here on YT that had green mussels in them. But for those who are curious about the absolute bare bones recipe, it's simply ground pork, onion, garlic, carrots, egg, and soy sauce. Note that egg roll wrappers are different from lumpia wrappers. Though different I wouldn't say no to those lumpia :D .
I'm a Filipino but this version never tasted. Egg roll wrapper is different from lumpia wrapper. But dude thanks for liking our dish. This could be called your own version of egg roll. Nice!
The beauty of cooking is that you can change any dish to your own liking, just ignore all the nasty comments they're just being ignorant, no dish has to be done one specific way like people are making out :/.
dont worry about some nasty comments.. i love your video... try to use galunggong (scad fish) instead of ground pork, you will love it. boil first the scad fish then separate the meat. and do the same recipe....
not everyone has the same version, i put water chestnuts in mine to make it crunchy :) so to other filipinos commenting here, be a little nicer to the guy, he appreciates our food and it's a great thing &hearts
@MacNinjah i hope u know that all filipinos do not cook the same....So many different dilects, so many different types of style, not everyone cooks like ur momma, and the way ur describing it is just one way...like i said so many different ways dont get it twisted....
interesting way for lumpia never heard of putting rasins in it, similar to mine minus the rasins and that particular wrap....lumpia is quite simple, i am filipina myself and i seen someone had commented on how u wrap it raw, thats actually quite alright. i have so many different styles of my lumpia/eggrolls...
there are many types of lumpias (which are basically eggrolls). shanghai lumpias just have meat wrapped in them, but this one is a more of a veggie lumpia. i've made shanghai lumpias w/ my grandma...it was fun handling the raw meat w/ my bare hands. i don't like celery so i'd probably leave it out, but i'd like to try this recipe :) thanks for posting!
Yea..the addition of raisins and peas is deviation from the traditional way of cooking lumpia in the philppines... but I think it will still be equally tasty....
Guys he was just sharing what he have learned. It may be a bit different to a traditional lumpia shanghai, but you can always add ingredients whatever you want. and hey, he's american. but personally, I don't often eat raisins and I don't eat peas at all. -Texan Filipino girl
i believe this is just your version of the "Philippine Lumpia". Sorry but i have never eaten any lumpia with raisins and peas... or corn... I am Filipino btw. Honestly, i don't think that is Philippine Lumpia.
I'm sure they taste good but that is by no means Filipino lumpia. The most glaring problem is that you used egg roll instead of spring roll wrappers. Lumpia wraps are supposed to be flaky and crisp, not chewy/crunchy. The raisins, "ketchup" sauce, hmmm
A more appropriate title for this vid would've been "My Spin on Philippine Lumpia."
Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons . com w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)
You know what kind of Lumpia you'd really made? It was the Thai Lumpia. I have a Thai friend at work and have tasted their lumpia and almost the same as what you've added for the ingredients just skipped the raisin...and the sauce for that is almost the same as what the Filipino had....some vinegar and chili but for Thai's they added sugar unlike in Philippines we have it really sour and trully spicey hot..
thats not true, filipino lumpia that i've had is never spicey hot and never sour. As long as it has the base ingredients of pork, water chesnuts, onion and garlic, egg, and flour/cornstarch, you've got it! different filipinos do things differently
those looked good. the lime at the end was a nice touch, i'll have to try it the next time i make some. though i prefer sweet & sour sauce over ketchup. ketchup is a little dominant flavor wise
Could this be done with spring roll wrappers or does it have to be egg wrappers? I am not sure how well the spring roll wrappers will fry... do you know?
I just did a Google search for "can you fry spring rolls" and it turned up at least three sites that have recipes for spring rolls that includes frying the spring roll, so I guess you certainly can do it.
You always make the best looking meals but with an average budget. Not like some shows that you need $100.00 worth of spices & ingredients just to get started.
