Lumpia Shanghai are the life of any party. Tiny, crispy, meat-packed rolls that shatter when you bite them. Filipino-style spring rolls. Dangerously snackable. Make extra. You’ve been warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Makes about 40-50 lumpia.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Filling:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 1 lb (450g) ground pork<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd cup finely chopped carrots<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd cup finely chopped onion<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bc cup finely chopped green onions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tsp black pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd tsp salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    For Wrapping & Frying:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • 1 pack lumpia wrappers (spring roll wrappers, about 50)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 egg white (for sealing)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Vegetable oil for deep frying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      For Dipping:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Sweet chili sauce or vinegar + garlic + soy sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Step 1: Make Filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. In a large bowl, mix ground pork, carrots, onion, garlic, green onions, egg, soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined (hands work best).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Step 2: Wrap Lumpia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Place a lumpia wrapper in a diamond shape. Put 1-2 teaspoons of filling near the bottom corner, shaping into a log.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Roll the bottom corner over the filling. Fold in the sides. Continue rolling tightly. Brush the top corner with egg white to seal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Repeat. Keep finished lumpia covered with a damp towel so wrappers don’t dry out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Step 3: Fry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Heat 2 inches of oil to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Fry lumpia in batches, 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Don’t overcrowd.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Drain on paper towels or a wire rack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Step 4: Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce. Listen for the crunch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                Prep Time:<\/strong> 30 min | Cook Time:<\/strong> 15 min | Total:<\/strong> 45 min<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Yield:<\/strong> 40-50 lumpia | Difficulty:<\/strong> Medium (wrapping practice)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Storage Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                Freeze uncooked:<\/strong> Arrange on a tray, freeze solid, then transfer to a bag. Fry from frozen (add 1-2 minutes). Cooked leftovers:<\/strong> Reheat in oven or air fryer at 375\u00b0F for 5-6 minutes. Never microwave (soggy sadness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
