Fry the Lumpia:
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot (around 350°F. Fry the lumpia in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 4–5 minutes per batch). Use a slotted spoon to remove the lumpia and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve:
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, vinegar with minced garlic, or banana ketchup.
Tips:
Make-Ahead: You can freeze uncooked lumpia. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag or you can add directly to ziplock in a single layer and freeze. Fry directly from frozen; just add an extra minute or two to the cooking time.
Crispier Lumpia: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying, and don’t overcrowd the pan to keep them crispy.
Variations: Add shrimp, ground chicken, or even vegetables like cabbage for different flavors.
Enjoy your crispy, savory lumpia anytime you crave it!
