Food ranking website Taste Atlas recently voted our Lumpiang Shanghai as the 2nd best street food in the world (Malaysia’s Roti canai got first place, FYI). In truth, you cannot deny the deliciousness of a savory lumpia–from the assorted combinations the rolls can be filled with to deep frying it until its golden and crispy. Here at Bitesized, our love for the fried spring roll knows no bounds. So as a tribute to its recent world ranking, we’re sharing with you this delicious compilation of some of the best lumpia recipes we’ve made.
Crispy Kare-Kareng Gulay Roll
We’re so used to eating kare-kare as a thick stew so to make it more fun and delectable, we decided to up the ante by making it into a fun veggie-filled lumpia roll using Mama Sita’s Kare-kareng Gulay Mix. Not only is it a must-try take on the usual kare-kare but it’s also a nice clean way to let the kiddos eat their veggies.
