HOW TO COOK LUMPIANG SHANGHAI

One reason why lumpiang shanghai is always present during celebrations is its simple preparation and simple ingredients.

The most important aspect of the lumpia is the filling. The lumpia filling is made by simply combining all the ingredients into one luscious meat filling. What’s important to note is to chop the ingredients as fine as possible. Make sure that all the ingredients are well-distributed in the ground meat.

The next steps will only be a bunch of wrapping. This recipe will yield a lot of lumpia and preparing lumpiang shanghai is a great bonding time with your family. Place a scoop of the filling and roll the lumpia into a log. Make sure to fold the sides inward to secure the filling. Some wrapping hacks I know is to make a long roll of lumpia and then just cut them before frying. The only con of that method is that the sides are not secured and there is a chance that some filings might fall during the cooking process. Once all the lumpia are wrapped, the only thing left to do is to fry. Fry the lumpiang shanghai pieces by batches until golden brown on both sides.

Serve the crispy and flavorful lumpiang shanghai with the classic sweet and sour dip. You may also enjoy them with other dipping sauces of your choice. Eat it on its own or serve it with some hot steaming rice. Enjoy!
