Homemade Lumpia - Filipino Spring Rolls, Several Different Versions
Ingredients:
Meat: 1 kg ground pork
Veggies: Garlic, Chopped Onions, Shredded Carrot, Shredded Cabbage, Green Onions
Salt, Pepper, Soy Sauce, Packaged Spring Roll Pastry
Brown and drain the meat; Sweat the veggies until cabbage is limp; Mix together; Add 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp soy sauce. Make flour paste to seal the pastries, or use egg wash.
Fry in 1 inch of med-hot oil, or deep fry until brown on both sides. Dry on paper towel.
This version from Natasha's Kitchen includes noodles. She recommends frozen egg roll pastry because it is thinner than refrigerator type. Correction from comments: Egg roll pastry is thicker than Spring Roll pastry. She uses Spring Roll pastry.
This version uses shrimp and other fresh vegetables in a rice paper wrapper and is not fried. The rolls are served cold. The sauce recipe is pretty easy.This version is from YouTube channel Souped-up Recipes. She mixes pork and shrimp together with cabbage, shredded carrot, bean sprouts, leeks, chives, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and then flavours with onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, binds with two eggs.
THE FILLING
- 7 ounces (200 grams) of ground pork
- 5.5 ounces (155 grams) of peeled shrimps, uncooked
- 1 cup of shredded cabbage (not Vietnamese tradition)
- 1 cup of shredded carrot
- 1 cup of leek
- 1 cup of chives (or substitute finely chopped shallots)
- 2 cups of glass noodles (aka mung bean noodles, bean vermicelli)
- 1 cup of bean sprouts
- 2 medium size eggs (this binds the ingredients together)
- salt, white pepper if you have it, fish sauce
This version explains very well about the rice paper wraps and the glass noodles. She also instructs how to minimize moisture content to prevent bursts while cooking. She gives a good basic recipe for the dipping sauce. Many of the comments are good advice on different variations, for example it is possible to add slices of taro root for a more traditional Vietnamese flavour.
And finally, this version is completely a different take. I am amazed at the variety of egg roll recipes! This one uses only cabbage and shrimp. The shrimp is chopped and fried with extensive add-ons such sesame oil, salt, oyster sauce, "five spice powder", black pepper, and smooth peanut butter, and then after removal from the heat, white sugar is added. The cabbage is cooked soft and wrung out.
