The Best Filipino Lumpia Shanghai Recipe

Lumpia Shanghai or Filipino Spring Rolls are a classic Filipino treat. Lumpia Shanghai is the Chinese-influenced version of Lumpia in the Phillippines. If you have had Lumpia before with Banana, this recipe will be a different experience as it contains meat. It won't be as sweet. Best way to describe these would be closer to a classic egg roll at your local Chinese restaurant.

This is classic street food in the Philippines. It's perfect for snacking and pairing with your favorite sauce. We have a sweet chili sauce that goes perfectly with this recipe. However, it's common for Filipinos to enjoy it with ketchup or even banana ketchup.

I show you how to make this dish using a neat hack to have perfect Lumpia every time. That's why I call this the best Filipino Lumpia Shanghai recipe to date. I hope you think so too. Let's get started!
