Excellent. I added a bit of cabbage, used ground up chicken and add some sesame oil, garlic and ginger. I also baked at 450 for 20 minutes turning once during cooking. -
can you bake lumpia instead of frying?

My friends and I got together with the ingredients and made some for each of us to take to family... the recipe is super easy... we figured out cook the meat first...but really yummy... we also tried it with cheese in the middle.. i know different but still yummy... we loved the recipe -
I had never tried or made lumpia before but my husband loves it so I thought this recipe sounded do-able! I used some fresh grated ginger and some diced water chestnuts as well. I was surprised that frying them in the oil for only 5 minutes or so got all the pork inside nice and done. This lumpia was SO DELICIOUS and very easy. I used egg roll wrappers as that's all my store had. Thanks for a great recipe! ***Update*** DH wanted these again but the store was out of ground pork. I used ground turkey and they were absolutely delicious. I also finely diced a large anaheim pepper and added it to the mix. That added a bunch of flavor and just the tiniest hint of spice. Thanks for a great recipe we will use over and over again. -
I love lumpias and have made them many times! There are alot of Filipino people in my area. mmmm chicken adobo is good too! Anyway, this looks like the best recipe on here for lumpias. I like to sometimes use half grounf pork and half shrimp. I love waterchestnuts in them too. I also use a pineapple dipping sauce or a suace which is about half 60 percet soy sauce 4o percent rice wine vinegar, and some garlic powder.

I love this recipe! I follow it almost to a "t" but do make some changes. I use cabbage and a dash of fish sauce in place of salt. It's very strong and a little goes a long way but OMG!! I make big batches (double or more) at a time and freeze them in smaller batches for anytime our house has a craving for it and toss together some pancit too. It's soooo good!

This was so good and easy!! I followed the recipe exactly, but made a few meatless ones using cabbage instead of the pork. Both were awesome! Thanks for the recipe!

I'm a retired American Government employee (law enforcement), now living in the Philippines. I'm an artist painting in oil on canvas, landscapes, seascapes, wildlife and florals. I paint all kinds of birds, animals, beautiful sunsets, sunrises, mountains, flowers, trees , beautiful nudes, street scenes and what ever else pleases me. I recently completed a series of paintings of old Spanish Catholic Churches, some of them dating back to 300 years. I have posted pictures a few of my works here on this site but only the ones that I have given to friends, I don’t publish pictures of sold paintings. My paintings are shipped to my Agent in the States for sales.
I spend a lot of time traveling around the Philippines in search of beautiful scenes to paint . I love to paint “en plein air” ( out in the open air) and of course the scenery is beautiful as well as plentiful. The women of this tropical paradise are slim, trim with natural tans, are absolutely gorgeous and make great painting subjects.
I love to cook American dishes for my Filipino friends who really do love them. I have learned to cook many delicious Filipino dishes mostly from my Filipino Mother-in Law who lives with us. I have taught her to prepare many American Dishes and she is an expert cook. Most American foods cannot be purchased here and some ingredients are impossible to find so my Sister ships to me what I cannot purchase here. My Filipino Mother-in- Law learned to make delicious patty sausage from scratch which is mostly used for sausage gravy which I love with biscuits. I make great light and fluffy biscuits from scratch, Bisquick is not available here.
