Lumpiang tinapa at mangga (smoked fish and mango spring rolls)
March 4, 2006
Filed under Cooking with Tofu, Filipino food
Heat the vegetable oil in a fryer. Test the temperature by dropping a small piece of lumpia wrapper in the oil. If it browns too fast, the oil is too hot. If the color stays the same for several seconds, the oil isn’t hot enough. Frying lumpia in oil that isn’t hot enough will make them absorb more oil than is necessary and the cooked lumpia will be greasy and soggy. So, test the oil before dropping in the lumpia.
Fry the lumpia in batches to allow room for movement. You will have to turn them over halfway through and that will be difficult to do if the fryer is too crowded.
When the lumpia turns golden brown, remove them with a slotted spoon or kitchen tongs and place them diagonally in a strainer to allow the excess oil to drip. Transfer to a platter lined with absorbent kitchen towels to remove excess oil on the surface. Transfer to a clean platter before serving.
I served the lumpia with Gourmet’s Garlic Dressing. The combination turned out to be delightful.

dear ms. connie,
thnaks for posting a unique lumpia recipe…i have all the ingredients, except for the cilantro…pag wala ako makita , i’ll try leeks or spring onions? pwede din siguro yun no?
