How to Make Lumpia Shanghai

This dish is so easy to make and you can gather the kids to help you out in the mixing of the ingredients and wrapping the lumpia to form into a roll.

To start, mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl except the lumpia wrapper and cooking oil.

Then wrap the mixture and turn into a spring roll by laying flat the lumpia wrapper in a plate. Put in a tablespoon of the lumpia mixture then roll it to form into spring rolls.

You can now deep-fry the lumpia shanghai until golden brown.  Place the cooked lumpia into a rack to drain excess oil.  Serve with your favorite sauce.

For best results, you may cut the lumpia into bite pieces so that it can be easily cooked and you can get that perfect brown when frying.

We usually serve ours with with ketchup, sweet chilli sauce or mayo and ketchup combo.

Can You Make Ahead this Recipe

Yes, absolutely.  I personally make a big batch of lumpia and put it in the fridge.  I put it in containers that are enough for us in one meal.  Then cook it when we want to eat it.  I can store it in the fridge up to 1 week.

This lumpia is really good for meal prep.  However, do not store lumpia when it is already cooked for it will turn soggy.

The best way to store it is to just put uncooked lumpia into containers and place it in the freezer.

When preparing it for special occasions and you will eat it later in the day, keep the cooked lumpia container/plate open to maintain its crispiness.
