This Lumpia is also called -Lumpiang Togue- because it has bean sprouts in it. A more special & traditional version would include shrimps & ground pork/beef mixed in with the vegetables & the tofu. The other Lumpia that has almost all meat filling is called -Lumpiang Shanghai-. This type of Lumpia is rolled a much thinner diameter than the Veggie Lumpiang Prito. It can either be long or just short bite size pieces for -pica-pica- & served with a sweet & sour sauce dip(there is also a variation to the sweet & sour dip that is a bit spicy. --Great video! I really loved the tutorial part on how you make your own wrapper. I used to see the wrappers being made fresh at the market when i was a kid. I wondered how the batter was made & from what ingredients.

Lumpia takes too long to make. Be sitting there for hours cutting the bean sprout, cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and so on. Then we cutting either pork, chicken, or beef. Then separating the rappers (the store bought no homemade -) and then rolling everything and frying it. It's a lot of work, and then y'all made homemade rappers, no I'm good -. Btw I'm not Filipina I'm Chamorro. But it's basically the same. But you get those people every now and then that try to be fancy and add different stuff and make it taste bad.

Not that easy to find good lumpia in my part of the US because. --1. Egg rolls have thick wrappers. It's like eating empanada. -2. Lumpias you find in some Asian restaurants seem to be outsourced from the same distributor. They sort of taste the same. Not necessarily in a good way. -3. Ground pork are usually sold with not much fat content. --That's why Filipino lumpia, as generic as it may look, tend to taste comparatively good. At the very least, Filipinos know that the wrapper needs to be thin.

It's pretty wild that a Dominican dude from NYC is one of the biggest faces of Filipino food in the spotlight of the US culinary world, and co-authored a book called I am a Filipino. That is America. --Flip the script a bit and another guy is getting called Columbus and getting nonsense Yelp reviews about authenticity. I wish all of that nonsense went away, but it makes the selective angst even more absurd.

Yes! Everyone should try lumpia! It's one of my faves and you can make it with many different fillings! my mother and I will try out the sweet potato next time we make it--Thanks Munchies, chef Miguel, and Nicole. there's not a lot of Filipino restaurants in the US, so it's nice to see dishes from my culture getting recognition and prepared in a more 'elevated' manner: -)

If you stack the freshly made wrappers on top of each other & put them in a bag, they'll soften up from the steam, be more pliable & are less likely to tear. A bit like when you're keeping tortillas warm. They'll stick together but you can sort of -bookmark- each layer with cut up banana leaves or even wax paper so you can pull off the layers easily later on.

The size of your Lumpiang Toge seemed smaller than the usual lumpiang-toge size sold here in the Karinderias in the Philippines. --And that is Lumpiang toge. There's also Lumpiang shanghai (meat & veggie filling) w/c is also fried o pinirito and Lumpiang gulay o sariwa (veggie filling) w/c is not fried but steamed.

I want to whisper gently into his chocolate chrome dome head holes. not creepy, how dare you. I love that he can't keep from cracking up and this really simple at home recipe is greatly appreciated. You munchies people allow me to spread love to my family through cooking and give me something creative to aspire to.

Props to making the wrappers from scratch. If anyone tries this, especially vegetarians and vegans, I really do suggest you try and find -ubod- or palm hearts! Just prepare and cook them the same way you would the carrots, I can guarantee they add another dimension to the lumpia

That dough is way too sticky. I live next to a lumpia wrapper maker and the dough they use is much softer, smoother and a little runnier than what they did. -The wraps they make are the smoother than what munchies made.
