LUMPIANG GULAY

Lumpia is one of the most convenient food to eat. Given that is wrapped in a crispy layer, it can easily be held and eaten any time and anywhere! There are a lot of known lumpia varieties based on its filling. If you’re a fan of meat, you can try some pork, chicken or fish lumpia. If you wanna go vegan, you can try lumpiang gulay and lumpiang togue. Lumpiang gulay will be the one featured in this recipe blog.

Lumpiang gulay or vegetable spring rolls is one of the best afternoon snacks. I have this ate who regularly roams the neighbourhood to sell her snacks including lumpia, empanada and turon. Each week, she varies her lumpia fillings which makes our afternoon snack something to look forward to. Ate’s it is really delicious! She includes all the vegetables for pancit. Given that ate’s lumpia has bell peppers and my mom is not a fan of it, we decided to make our own lumpia to customize our filling and to have a stock whenever we want. Another wonder of making homemade dishes is that you can customize what you want to include in your dish. There are some lumpia batches made by my mom which includes broccoli and mushroom! Just wow. Also, instead of just afternoons, we can enjoy the lumpia any time of the day!

Lumpiang gulay is not just a tasty snack but is also a healthy one. It is low in calories given that all ingredients used in the filling are vegetables. The colourful filling also satisfies my palate with every bite. Aside from being a snack, you can also eat the lumpia as an ulam! And the most savage one, you can eat lumpia as a pulutan! There is really no rules on how to enjoy this amazing and healthy finger food. Use this recipe as a quick guide to make your own lumpiang gulay at home!

HOW TO MAKE LUMPIANG GULAY

The most important part of the lumpiang gulay is the veggie filling. You can use any vegetables that you like and we included the basics in this recipe. I really like using chopped cabbage since it give added crunch to the filling. Prepare your vegetables and be sure to chop them into thin strips to make it easier to eat. Simply stir fry your veggies and toss them gently so all kinds of veggies are well-distributed. Do a quick taste test just to check if your veggies are cooked. Let them cool a bit and then it’s wrapping time!

If you have watched the cooking video, you might notice that I used a square wrapper. It’s just a different shape but the circular wrapper works the same. Scoop some veggie filling and roll and wrap your lumpia. Just make sure that the fillings are secured. Make sure that the oil is hot before you place the lumpia in the pan. Fry them until crispy and golden brown. Serve them with your favorite dip. I like enjoying it with my homemade spicy vinegar dip! Eat it immediate to munch the crunch!
