How To Make Lumpia 🧄🥕🧅 | Great for parties 

Yes, I am so grateful to be here. Never thought this would all work for the best. Gigi is the best, so kind and thoughtful.

I have that recipe called Summer rolls with shrimp, rice noodles, lettuce, basil and mint. I make a yummy peanut sauce with hoisin sauce. Healthier, no frying.

Thank you so much!

We all remember good times and that wasn't goal, to teach my grand kids and others to cook.

Sorry, my goal.

You can do it. It's just getting started. You'll love it and so will everyone else. You can put anything in it.

Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving.

You'll be fine, it's easy.

@@HawaiisPickleLady It was and they were perfect! They were completely devoured by people who had never heard of lumpia!

Hi, Happy Easter! Haven't heard from you or seen you for so long. Hope you're doing well.

You're welcome 🙂.

It's on my to-do list

Our pleasure!

Please try it.

Gigi made some tonight for Easter dinner tomorrow. Happy Easter.

You can now make some, easy.

Like I said, the recipe is now yours. I always tweak recipes to my liking.

Ginger does not go into Filipino lumpia!

Stay tuned and you will learn a lot.

Just takes practice. You can do it.

Watching them wrap lumpia is so soothing, in the meantime I am trying to figure out why my lumpia are all different sizes🤣

@@warroom17 when I first started out making lumpias years ago mines came out all different sizes also. Now I can make them the same size but I still haven't perfected in wrapping them super tight.

And I wrap it too tightly😭 focus and patience is highly underrated in cooking imo, I aspire to be able to bring lumpia to potluck without being self conscious 🙏 we will get there! I think when no one is grazing around the kitchen waiting for fresh fried lumpia to come out, I can relax🤣

Here's a carbon steel wok: amzn.to/3tJHuir Here's a non stick wok: amzn.to/3a3riRp

The standard lumpia wrappers. Many choices in brands.

So many variations, from different provinces, countries, grandmas, etc.

lol

Don't know what that is. Please describe.

@@HawaiisPickleLady Rolls with a peanut butter sauce/topping on top.

Do you mean Vieu

Do you mean Vietnamese summer rolls with 🦐 shrimp and rice paper wrap? I make a 🥜 c

Peanut sauce for that. That recipe is in a video.

The full recipe is on my website under side dishes. The sauce: 2 c sugar, 1/4 c water, 1/2 c vinegar, 2-4 T chili garlic sauce. Mix everything together in a small pot. Stir till it boils. Simmer 5-7 minutes till the sauce thickens.

Either way is okay.

Mahalo Auntie@@HawaiisPickleLady

lol.

Check the video, it zooms in on pkg. On brand is Menlo but almost any brand is good.

In case you didn't get the name. The name is Spring House Tyj Spring Roll Pastry Wrappers. Popular brand of lumpia wrappers.

There's no right or wrong in a recipe. I've seen a lot of rice noodles.

She is Filipino.

@@HawaiisPickleLady me too = )

She said spring rolls.They have a thinner wrapper than egg rolls.

0:23 Leonora calls it SPRING rolls not egg rolls.

Invest in a good one perhaps at the restaurant supply store where they sell commercial ones. I bought one from Cambodia, think its made of aluminum. Cheap and sturdy. Got one at Goodwill for $4 with a cover that works well. International Marketplace in Vegas has a good selection of carbon steel ones.

Why? Everybody has different ways of doing things. This is the way we make it in Hawaii and Filipinos all like this version. I always say there is no right or wrong. How do you make it? I never criticize anyone's food.

@@HawaiisPickleLady then don't call it lumpia, call it my Filipina friends spring roll.

Hawaii is blessed with so many peoples from different countries and cultures. Yes, their “island” versions of certain foods may not be as “authentic” as those from their original countries, but there really is no right or wrong way as long as everyone is happy with the results and enjoy the foods. If only the whole world could be as inclusive as Hawaii with their foods and people! God Bless!

Thank you cacritic. Chinese call spring rolls very similar to lumpia. It is what it is. Even Filipinos have different versions. This recipe is from a native Filipino, do don't knock it. Just make your own and be happy.

@@HawaiisPickleLady Agreed. I grew up in one of the largest Filipino communities in the country. Over the course of about 50 years I have eaten thousands of lumpia made by many families & restaurants. They are a staple at every gathering including work potlucks. What I discovered many years ago is that every friend, co-worker, restaurant has their own recipe & technique of making lumpia. There are a few standard ingredients that most lumpia have but like recipes from other cultures every family, etc. has their own personal preferences, likes & dislikes hence the differences. Different meat, spices, sauces, some of this & some of that. None of this & none of that. Some use packets of seasoning, some use msg. Some use eggs to bind the ingredients and some don't. Some cook the ingredients first & some don't. Does every family have the same recipe for any dish? No, most people tweak their recipes. I even notice this from watching videos of people making lumpia in the Philippines. You go girl, make them the way your family & friends love them. For anybody that says they aren't authentic (even though they know nothing), my response is "Good, it leaves more for the rest of us". lol.
