Best Lumpia Shanghai Recipes

LUMPIA (SHANGHAI VERSION)

Steps:

• In a Large bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, onion, and carrot. Make sure to completely mix everything. I suggest getting down and dirty and use your hands. Knead the meat in the bowl if you must. Gradually blend in the soy sauce , black pepper, garlic powder, and salt until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Lay out a few wrappers at a time on a flat surface, and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in a line down the center of the wrapper. Make sure the filling is no thicker than your thumb, or the wrapper will cook faster than the meat. Take the bottom and top edges of the wrapper and fold them towards the center. Take the left and right sides, and fold them towards the center. Moisten the last edge of the wrapper to seal. Now repeat using the rest of the wrappers, and have hubby or the kids help you out.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry 3 or 4 lumpia at a time. Fry for about 3 or 4 minutes, turning once. Lumpia are cooked through when they float, and the wrapper is golden brown. Cut in half, or serve as is with dipping sauce. We like sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce with lemon, or banana ketchup.

LUMPIA (LUMPIANG SHANGHAI) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the carrots, onion, and water chestnuts to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the vegetables are finely chopped, but not ground into a paste.
• Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl with the ground pork, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, Knorr seasoning, sugar, black pepper, and egg. Stir with a fork until well combined; do not overmix. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Gently separate the lumpia wrappers from one another and cover with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
• Add the flour and water to a small bowl and whisk to combine, making sure there are no lumps.
• Assemble the lumpia: Scoop 5 tablespoons (52 grams) of the filling onto the center of a lumpia wrapper and shape into a horizontal line, all the way across the wrapper. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling and start to roll tightly. Brush the flour paste on the top edge of the wrapper, then continue rolling to seal. Transfer to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Cut each lumpia crosswise into 4 equal pieces.
• If desired, arrange the lumpia in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other. Freeze until solid, 2-3 hours, then transfer to an airtight container. The lumpia will keep in the freezer for 3-4 weeks.
• When ready to fry, pour 1 inch of canola oil into a large pot and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and set a wire rack on top.
• Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, add the lumpia to the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to the wire rack to drain and repeat with the remaining lumpia, allowing the oil to return to temperature between batches.
• Serve the lumpia with your favorite sauce for dipping.
• Enjoy!

LUMPIA SHANGHAI

Steps:

• Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the carrot, onion, water chestnuts, celery, garlic, 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk, fish sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt; mix until well blended. Add the pork, beef, pepper and remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Using your hands, gently mix until everything is evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork or compress the meat mixture.
• Prepare the lumpia: In a small bowl, whisk about 3 tablespoons water into remaining egg white. Working one at a time, place a lumpia wrapper on a work surface with one corner facing you. Add 3 tablespoons of filling in the center of the wrapper and shape it into a 7-inch-long log stretching from the left corner of the wrapper toward the right corner of the wrapper. Brush the outer 1-inch edge of the wrapper with the egg white mixture, then lift the bottom corner of the lumpia wrapper and fold it up and over the filling, making sure there's no air between the filling and the wrapper. Tightly fold the left and right corners of the wrapper toward the center, pulling and folding the corners over the filling. Roll the log away from you toward the top corner, tightly sealing it closed and forming it into a compact roll.
• In a deep pot, add enough oil to reach 3 inches and heat over medium-high until about 350 degrees. Working in batches, add 6 or so lumpia and cook, rotating frequently and separating if needed, until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large, paper towel-lined baking sheet to cool, then cook the remaining lumpia. (You can also freeze uncooked lumpia until firm on a wax paper-lined baking sheet, wrap them well and keep them frozen for up to 2 weeks. Fry frozen lumpia for 4 to 5 minutes.)
• Serve lumpia whole or halved crosswise, with banana ketchup for dipping. If serving a crowd, you can cook the lumpia an hour or two ahead, let them come to room temperature then reheat them in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes.

LUMPIA SHANGHAI

Steps:

• Separate wrappers. Keep under damp towels. Mix all ingredients together. Place about 1 Tblsp. of filling about 1 1/2" from edge of wrapper closest to you. Spread across wrapper to about 2" from the sides. Roll from filling side twice. Turn in sides and continue to roll until almost to the end. Moisten the last part of the wrapper with a little water, using your finger as a paint brush. Finish rolling and place seam side down on baking sheet lined with plastic wrap or foil. Continue in same manner until all rolls are made. Make sure to keep covered with damp towel. Deep-fry in hot oil, a few at a time until golden brown (about 3 minutes). Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. I always check one to make sure they are done and then go by that time and color. If making for party, you can cut in half with scissors before frying. Serve with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

LUMPIA SHANGHAI

Steps:

• Place the ground pork into a large mixing bowl.
• I prefer to grind my shrimp in my meat grinder and then mix it with the pork; however, if you do not have a meat grinder, chop the shrimp into fine pieces. Add to meat. Mix the pork and shrimp together well.
• In a food processor, chop the garlic cloves (fine chopped). Remove large chunks if needed. Add to meat.
• In the same food processor, chop the yellow onions (fine chopped). Remove large chunks if needed. Add to meat.
• In the same food processor, chop the green onions (fine chopped). Remove large chunks if needed. Add to meat.
• Using either a grater or the grating accessory on your food processor, finely grate the carrot. Add to meat.
• Add seasonings and soy sauce to the meat and mix well. You will need to use your hands to really mix the ingredients. Set aside.
• Now prepare for rolling... First, separate your wrappers. This will help speed up the process. Simply separate them and stack them in a pile. They should not restick unless they are wet. Get a small bowl and fill it with water.
• To roll, the goal is to roll them tight and narrow. They should be no wider than a hotdog. Place the wrapper on a plate. You should be looking at it as a square and not a diamond. One of the sides facing you rather than a corner.
• Use a spoon or butter knife to get meat mixture from bowl. Spread the meat about 1 inch from the edge closest to you. Remember, we are going for the shape of a hotdog, so spread you meat in the shape of a hotdog leaving 1-inch margins on 3 sides. Now, first fold up the sides. Next, begin rolling the wrapper over the meat and keep rolling until the end of the wrapper. Try to keep the folds tucked in while you roll. Finally, dab water from the water bowl with your finger along the end to seal the egg roll. Repeat the process until all the meat is gone. About 40 egg rolls.
• In a medium fryer pan, heat enough oil to cover a little more than half the egg roll. You want the temp to be hot enough to fry, but also cook the meat. If the temp is too high, the outside will burn and the inside will not cook completely. Medium/high heat works for me.
• Now you are ready to fry these babies up! Fry, don't over crowd, about 4 rolls at a time. Turn them several times to prevent burning. When they are a nice rich, golden brown, they should be done.
• Drain standing up on a paper towel. Use a foil tent to keep the rolls warm but not soggy.
• Serve with a bottle of sweet and spicy egg roll sauce or make your own.
