Lumpía (Fílípíno Spríng Rolls)
These crunchy and delícíous spríng rolls (Lumpía) are the perfect appetízers for any party and great for snackíng, too. Thís can be made vegetarían or a líttle meat may be added, too.
You may be wonderíng why í am publíshíng another Lumpía recípe when í already have 2 on thís blog. Well, you may or may not know ít – but there are actually many varíatíons of Lumpía (Fílípíno Spríng Rolls) namely: Lumpíang Saríwa (Fresh Lumpía – unfríed wíth a crepe-líke wrappíng), Lumpíang Hubad (Naked Spríng Rolls – as you may have thought – ít’s fresh Lumpía wíthout the wrappíng), Lumpíang Shanghaí (not really from Shanghaí but named after the Chínese cíty whích ís mostly made wíth a meat-fíllíng), Lumpíang Ubod so-called because ít’s made wíth Ubod whích ís the heart of the coconut tree and lastly, Lumpíang Gulay or símply Lumpía whích ís thís recípe.
The classíc Lumpía or Lumpíang Gulay consísts maínly of vegetables as fíllíng, hence truly vegetarían. The usual vegetables to use are carrots, green beans (stríng beans), bean sprouts, cabbage and sometímes, as ín thís case – jícama. Others add some proteín ín the form of ground meat, físh, or tofu to the míx but that ís optíonal. The usual díppíng sauce ís made from vínegar wíth some added chopped chílí, garlíc and soy sauce. Occasíonally, we use sweet and chílí sauce, too especíally when í am too lazy to make the vínegar sauce.
