I have an aunt who is Filipino and she tucks the ends closed. Her lumpia is a favorite dish at our family gatherings!

[@HelloItsMikkan]

It's because tucking in the sides ensures that the meat doesnt fall off if you fry it fresh. You can only fry an open faced lumpia when you at least refrigerate it for an hour to ensure that the meat filling wouldn't be loose enough to fall out during frying

[@Asmr-j3x]

My aunt's too

[@daenerysstormborn8147]

Me too.

[@missuptonogood3655]

I’ve never seen anybody here in PH, well family and friends, not tuck the sides of their lumpia to be honest. I’ve only seen this type of rolling lumpia on Fil-Am KZbinrs.

Literally my favorite food ever. I even had it at my wedding!

[@SPVSR3048]

I grew up with a Filipino step mom. This is served with most meals and will always be there during a gathering

[@eduardochavacano]

That is called Shanghai, a major city in China. So you can probably call Chinese take out to eat Lumpia. They have that in weddings in the Philippines, because of the culture of corruption. Filipinos think Lumpia is on the banquet because it is popular. But the caterers put them on the menu because it is Profit, Profit, and Profit. Its just a plate filler. The two other kinds of Lumpia are more exotic or Filipino than the ridiculous Shanghai that is being celebrated by Foreigners in social media.

@@eduardochavacano wtf are u talking about? Corruption and profit?? Wtf lol. Im pretty sure many of us can agree that lumpiang shanghai tastes the best and the size is just convenient. Personally, my mom makes the best lumpiang gulay, so i actually like that more. MANY Asian foods are inspired by Chinese cuisine. Dumplings are found in many cultures, but originated in China. That’s like saying we can’t eat Siopao bc they are inspired by Chinese Bao. In fact all variations of lumpia are influenced by the Chinese, not just Shanghai. Stop overthinking things man 😂

Lumpia is one of many wonderful reasons why people should come together and share their beautiful cultures. I have loved lumpia since the first time someone introduced it to me during my time in the military. It is delicious.

[@FlagCutie]

This is a beautiful way to put it! I agree, gastronomy is favorite part of cultural exchange.

[@eduardochavacano]

its just spring roll. Social media is sensationalizing this food item as a symbol of Filipino culture, when it has a Chinese name. Lumpia is so over rated, referring to the Shanghai Lumpia. Its just served in parties because Caterers are very corrupt. Its just a Plate Filler. Cheap Food to fill the plate in weddings.

[@MT-zu2uq]

@@eduardochavacano You’ve never tasted delicious lumpia before have you? My dad is a manager of an inn who does catering as well, and my colleagues loved it so much whenever I bring it for my birthdays and other parties, they started to order it for theirs.

[@louiseannealgenio9643]

@@eduardochavacano but there are different kinds of spring rolls and some countries put their own twist to it. The Chinese made a huge influence in the Philippines that's why some Chinese food was adopted in the Filipino culture just like how Pizza originated from Italy but was so popular with the US it became part of the American culture. Personally, I find all types of spring rolls delicious and definitely not overrated.

[@lawrencealcantara]

pro tip, if you can't find knorr seasoning, substitute with soysauce+water (equal parts) and a touch of sugar. if you want it closer to the original, a touch of MSG.

[@sierraparaham4454]

Thank you!

[@almed23]

You could use soy sauce + lemon juice or calamansi juice. If you look at the ingredients list on the bottle, it's soy sauce, msg, and citric acid.

[@arlynnecumberbatch1056]

i think knorr is well known in some parts of asia but yeah even i have struggles to find substitutes when making a dish for my own 😂

[@Muichiro_020]

Or better yet, just skip Knorr seasoning. It's really optional and more of a preference. The lumpia won't taste incomplete without it. Less preservatives and sodium.

[@Phoenixx713]

is it anything like Maggi seasoning?

[@joyherting3705]

I love lumpia, my first ones were probably made by my cousin's wife who is Filipino. The ones I learned how to make have ground pork cabbage mushrooms garlic and ginger I think some onion but the filling is precooked and I guess kind of rolled like an egg roll with the lumpia wrapper. We serve them with sweet chili sauce and sriracha. I've always had them fried but I would like to try them baked, after having my gallbladder out I don't deal with fried stuff very well. I have a funny lumpia story for you though that happened to me after work one day. My ex-mother-in-law was making the lumpia filling and the rest of the stuff for dinner and I had fallen asleep on the couch after working a 11-hour day. My ex father-in-law had been drinking after work and came to check on how dinner was going, he saw she used purple cabbage instead of green cabbage. And I quote said "what the h**l kind of Filipino are you?" and I sat straight up awake and said "what did he say?" She is a very white woman. I was knocked out to the world according to my ex and sat straight up awake. I think I would try this recipe though, and it is great to multiply the recipe when you have Helping Hands and freezer room

[@MrEmrys24]

There is actually no baked version of lumpia, I think you're referring to lumpiang sariwa which can be a pure vegetarian dish. The filling is a mix of stir fried vegetables, mainly with heart of palm or bamboo shoots which we call ubod, wrapped with crepe like wrapping. The special sauce for that is what makes it stands out. Search for lumpiang sariwa or lumpiang ubod if you want to try this.

[@ralphpadit2291]

I think the recipe you got is for japanese dumpling called gyoza.

[@IconTactical]

When I was deployed to the Philippines, I lived off of lumpia and banana shakes. 🤤

[@kaiselinxinyang1197]

When I saw the title itself, I immediately click the video. I am a filipino and the first food that I learn how to cook is lumpia and turon.

We also use Bamboo Shoots and it is called Lumpiang Ubod.

[@Moss_piglets]

Lumpia and turon are staple in our parties! My grandma is pinay and always had us help her roll them. We now use a piping bag for the filling to make it faster anD it's more efficient! Depending on the brand of wrappers, you don't need a slurry. We've always used water or egg whites. You can also turn lumpia vegan using mushrooms or tofu! i always have bags in the freezer when i want some lol

[@FlagCutie]

I'm so gonna save this video so I can try it! During the summer months I'm always heading to our local farmers market to have an after church lumpia lunch. Sadly, the market only runs from from April to October. So this will keep me satisfied during the sad months lol
