It never has been so easy to make crisp lumpia with these step-by-step video guide. Filled with minced meat, chicken, and crisp veggies this becomes a great snack that is great to serve at your next party.
I love a crisp lumpia. And the recipe below is just delicious! They are crunchy, with veggies. You can eat them at a party as an appetizer or as a part of a buffet. Spring rolls are always a great hit.
- To stick the sheets after rolling, so you can close it, brush some water on the sides.
- The wrappers will dry out easily. Put the sheets under a wet towel, while working with them.
- Serve them on a platter and accompany them with (sweet) chili sauce or soy sauce as a dipper.
- If you want a vegetarian lumpia, substitute the chicken and pork for Shiitakes.
- The rolling part isn't very hard, but it's easy when you see it, I've added a video of the rolling of the lumpia in this recipe.
Preparation and storing
- These crisp lumpia's can be made in advance. Wrap them in plastic foil and put them in an airtight container. Store up to two days in the refrigerator.
- You can store them for about 3 months in the freezer. Before preparation, you don't need to defrost them. Just add an extra minute to the first frying step when you deep-fry them.
