August's Kulinary Cooking Club - Lumpia!!!!!

As a child, I remember my parents throwing parties or having people over for dinner all the time.  One given dishes was lumpia shanghai and I would always get stuck chopping all the veggies.  BTW I hate, hate chopping carrots.  For this challenge, I made a variation of lumpia shanghai since I made fresh lumpia a couple of months ago.  This past Saturaday, I had the opportunity to donate quite a bit of food for charity, coming up in the next post, I made some lumpia shanghai.  I thought it was pretty good timing :D.  I did make traditional lumpia shanghai but for this challenge I made longoniza lumpia.  For the longoniza I used my homemade longoniza

The Filling (I used pork but I plan to make a chicken version)

Making the egg roll

I'm not the greatest at rolling



The vertict from The Husband was that it was mushy and he was quite confused (he didn't know what I used.  I personally loved it.

  2. Ive always kind of wondered about this: are lumpia basically egg rolls with more filipino-centered ingredients? What's the one thing that makes them different?

  3. A very different type of lumpia from the one we eat at home. They are definitely a crowd pleaser.

  9. Thanks everybody
    @Baking Barrista - actually it is all in the filling. This version is mainly meat compared to the other egg roll versons. These types are quite small.
    @Lala - it is actually a blog base cooking club. Would you be interested in joining?

  20. I second the Wow...a different take, sounds interesting version, I imagine I won't be needing sweet chili sauce as it has that sweetness already into it:)
