Introduction and Overview of Lumpia Recipe
Have a look at the lumpia recipe. In this post, we are going to tell you about lumpia ingredients and how to make lumpia at home. Lumpia is a kind of spring roll that originated from Indonesia and the Philippines.
We can easily say the vegetable lumpia recipe is the Filipino version of Chinese Spring rolls. The Egg Rolls are the American version of Chinese Spring rolls. So, these three roles belong to the same family but from different origins.
A thin paper is used to wrap it called a lumpia wrapper. Meat and vegetables are used as the stuffing. Indonesian lumpia can be eaten as a snack or as a main course. Now, let’s get started with the best lumpia recipe.

Step by Step Instructions
Base of lumpia
- Place the wheat flour, cornstarch, corn oil, and water in a container to achieve a light mixture with this mixture.
- Heat a pan and pour in a little mixture, to form the crépes or very thin pancakes that will serve as the base.
- Cook the pancakes until they are dry, but without turning any color. You don’t need to flip them in the pan.
- Reserve the pancakes on a plate, covering them with a damp blanket so that they do not dry out.
Filling
- To prepare the filling, heat the oil in a pot and fry the garlic clove.
- Add the sprouted beans, chives, carrots in strips, mushrooms, and cabbage, cooking for one minute.
- Add the soy sauce and cook for a couple more minutes or until the cabbage is slightly transparent and remove from the heat.
- Let the filling cool before assembling your lumpia.
- Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each pancake and fold the sides and roll up the parcel, holding the end with the lightly beaten egg.
- Heat the oil and fry the lumpia over medium heat until golden brown. When removing them, let them rest on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
