Lumpia is a popular filipino dish commonly served at celebrations. It is a crunchy wrapped entree, filled with vegetables or meat. It goes well with a sweet & tangy sauce

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Lumpia are Filipino fried spring rolls filled with ground pork and mixed vegetables. This lumpia recipe is authentic and yields the crispiest lumpia ever. Serve them as an appetizer or finger food, with a sweet and sour dipping sauce.

Almost every country in Asia has its own interpretation of spring rolls, or egg rolls in the United States. In the Philippines, spring rolls are called lumpia.

In this lumpia recipe, Marvin, a native Filipino who blogs at Burnt Lumpia will explain different types of lumpia and share lumpiang Shanghai recipe with us.

What is a Lumpia?

Many people wonder what does lumpia mean? Lumpia is a Filipino word and it comes from the Chinese spring roll, with veggies (like cabbage and carrots), meats (usually pork), and/or seafood (sometimes shrimp) as the filling.

Different Types of Lumpia

There are many types of lumpia, here are some of the most popular ones:

Lumpiang Sariwa refers to "fresh" lumpia with veggies and meat as the filling. You use a thin homemade crepe, instead of spring roll wrappers to wrap them.

Lumpiang Hubad (naked lumpia) is made without a wrapper.

Lumpiang Prito is Filipino fried spring roll with meat and a variety of vegetables as the filling.

How to Make Lumpia?

Below is the recipe for Lumpiang Shanghai with vegetables and ground pork as the filling. For serving, you dip them into Chinese sweet and sour sauce.

Lumpiang Shanghai are also thinner and smaller than its other fried counterparts. Lumpiang Shanghai are very easy to make as you just roll them up. They are perfect finger foods for parties!

Difference Between Lumpia and Egg Rolls

Lumpia is the Filipino version of fried spring rolls. Egg rolls are American version of Chinese spring rolls. Both share the same origin but they taste and look different, with egg rolls being bigger and "fatter" in shape.

Can You Freeze Lumpia?

Yes, you can make lumpia ahead of time and freeze them in the refrigerator. In case you are wondering how long does frozen lumpia last? The answer is a long time. You can freeze them for months in the freezer without going bad.

Just make sure that you thaw them to room temperature before deep-frying.

How Many Calories Per Serving?

Each roll is only 65 calories.

What Dishes to Serve with this Recipe?

For a classic Filipino meal, I recommend the following recipes.

Get tricks for quick & easy meals!

Using a serrated knife, cut the square lumpia wrappers in half so that you have two stacks of rectangular wrappers. Place a damp paper towel over the wrappers to keep them from drying out as you work.

Combine the pork, cabbage, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, chicken bouillon powder (if using), eggs, and ground black pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands, or a rubber spatula, mix the filling well so that the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Place one of the rectangular wrappers vertically on your work surface with the short edge facing you. Place a heaping teaspoon of the filling on the wrapper about half an inch from the edge closest to you. Grasp the bottom edge of the wrapper and roll it up and over the filling, continuing to roll until 2 inches of wrapper remain.

Dip two fingers into a bowl of water, then moisten the last 2 inches of wrapper with your fingers. Finish rolling the lumpia, then rest it on its seam. Continue rolling with the rest of the filling and lumpia wrappers.

At this point, you can freeze your rolled lumpia if you wish by placing them in freezer bags and then into your freezer.

To cook the lumpia, fill a large frying pan with about 1/2-inch of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Gently place the lumpia into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total (if frying frozen lumpia, it will take 1 to 2 minutes longer).

Place the fried lumpia on paper towels and serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce or chili sauce (bottled from the store is fine).

If you looking to add a few more authentic Mexican recipes to your cookbook, take a look at this authentic enchilada recipe. Enchiladas rojas is one of those dishes that are cooked differently in every home. Each cook has his/her own recipe, so this is my own version based on my mom's way of cooking enchiladas Mexicanas.

In my hometown, it is common to have enchiladas for breakfast or brunch and served with a slice of semi-dried salted meat known as "Cecina". They are topped with crumbled fresh cheese and chopped white onion.

This plate served family-style has a variety of enchiladas with:

Served with:

In my hometown of Tampico, Tamps, they are served at the restaurant El Huasteco.

Enchiladas Rojas: Authentic Enchilada Recipe

Now, enchiladas rojas can be made using many different types of peppers and with spices or without spices.

In México, there are a handful of dishes known as 'Enchiladas Rojas', like the famous ones from Zacatecas using only ancho peppers. My favorite is the 'Enchiladas Placeras' sold at the plaza in Morelia, Michoacán with a side dish of cubed carrots and potatoes.

There's also the spicier version of enchiladas rojas from the Huasteca region of San Luis Potosí, using dried árbol peppers. After asking several cooks about their preferences on peppers for the sauce, most of them shared that they use a combination of ancho and guajillo peppers in their enchilada sauce.

As for assembling the enchiladas, some just fold the tortillas in half and others roll them up using shredded cooked chicken as a filling.

It really comes down to preference.

Red Enchiladas Recipe

This recipe I am about to share is my mother's enchiladas rojas recipe. It's been in my family for many years and we have always enjoyed just the way it is but this time around, I decided to change it up a bit and make it more of my own.
Here is a list of ingredients you will need:

Guajillo peppers (seeds removed)

Ancho peppers (seeds removed)

Garlic cloves (chopped)

Mexican oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Corn tortillas

Shredded beef pork or chicken (optional)

Fresh cheese crumble

White onion (finely chopped)

Vegetable oil

How To Make Homemade Enchiladas Rojas

To make things easier for you, I am going to breakdown the directions to this recipe into sections.

Make The Enchilada Sauce

Let's start first with the enchilada sauce.

Slightly roast the peppers in a hot griddle.

Once the peppers are roasted, place them in a saucepan with water and turn the heat to medium.

Remove the saucepan from the stove and let them cool down first. Then, drain the peppers and place them into the blender along with the garlic cloves.

Add ½ cup of clean water and blend until you have a smooth sauce. Season with the oregano, salt, and pepper, and set aside.

Prep The Corn Tortillas

Now, let's move on to prepping the corn tortillas for this enchilada recipe.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees to keep the enchiladas warm while you finish assembling them.

Add the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Dip the tortilla into the enchilada sauce (see how to make it above) and place it in the frying comal-pan or skillet.

Briefly fry them for a few seconds on both sides and place the fried tortillas in a dish.

Assemble The Red Enchiladas

Lastly, it's time to assemble the enchiladas!

To assemble the red enchiladas, place the meat filling in the center of the tortilla, and fold it just like in the pictures above.

Repeat this step until you have run out of meat filling and corn tortillas.

Sprinkle the enchiladas with the cheese crumbled and chopped onions.

Add the garnish of your choice and enjoy!

Make The Garnish (Optional)

If you decide to add the potatoes and carrots as a garnish:

Peel the potatoes and carrots, cut them into cubes, and boil until almost tender but still firm. Then, drain and let them cool.

Use the same frying pan where you fried the enchiladas to lightly fry the potatoes, adding a little more oil. The potatoes and carrots will be coated with some of the sauce sticking to the frying pan.

Season with salt and garnish your delicious red enchiladas with cheese.

Cooking Notes and Suggestions

Play around with the number of peppers you add. You can play around with a number of peppers by using more ancho peppers than guajillo or visa versa for a change in the flavor profile of these enchiladas rojas.

Only add one kind of pepper to the enchilada sauce. You can even make the enchilada sauce using just one of the peppers in the recipe until you find the taste that you and your family enjoy better.

Not sure what to use for cheese? For the cheese crumbles, I recommend using cotija cheese or queso fresco as it adds a salty creaminess to the enchiladas.

Don't add too much oil. When frying the corn tortillas, make sure to add slowly add in the vegetable oil as needed. Too much oil will make for a soggy tortilla.

Need a shredded beef or chicken recipe? For this red enchiladas recipe, I recommend using this shredded beef recipe or this shredded chicken tinga recipe for the filling.

Use veggies instead of meat for the filling as a vegetarian option. If you prefer a more veggie-based filling, I recommend making some creamy potatoes with poblano peppers or some nopales a la Mexicana.

What To Serve With Mexican Enchiladas

In my household, I like to serve these enchilada rojas with a side of:
