Lumpia Shanghai

Lumpia Shanghai is a popular Filipino dish, often served as a snack or appetizer at gatherings, parties, and family meals. It consists of small, crispy spring rolls filled with a savory mixture of ground pork (or sometimes chicken or beef), vegetables (such as carrots, onions, and sometimes water chestnuts), and seasonings, all wrapped in a thin egg roll wrapper.

The filling is typically seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, salt, pepper, and sometimes a touch of sugar for a slightly sweet undertone. Once the filling is prepared, it is rolled tightly into a small cylindrical shape and then deep-fried until golden brown and crunchy. The result is a crispy exterior with a flavorful, juicy interior.
