Beef Lumpia
Description
This Beef Lumpia recipe features ground beef cooked with finely chopped onion and garlic, then combined with grated carrot and thinly sliced cabbage for texture and freshness. The filling is seasoned with soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper, balancing savory and sweet notes commonly found in Filipino cuisine.
The filling is cooled before assembly to prevent soggy wrappers. Each spring roll wrapper is filled with a small amount of mixture, folded tightly, and sealed with beaten egg to achieve a crisp, golden exterior when fried. The technique ensures tender, flavorful filling encased in a crunchy wrapper.
Lumpia can be served with dipping sauces or as part of a meal. The recipe suggests that baking is an alternative to frying, allowing a less oily preparation method while still achieving a golden crust. Variations can include adding vegetables like bell peppers or green beans for added color and nutrition.
The filling's flavor will deepen if allowed to cool properly prior to wrapping, which also helps maintain the wrapper's crispness during frying or baking. Nutritional info is provided as courtesy, highlighting the dish's composition and possible ingredient substitutions.
Ingredients
- 400 g minced meat Beef
- 30 spring roll pastry sheets
- 1 onion Finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic Minced
- 1 carrot Grated
- 1/2 cabbage Thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- neutral cooking oil For frying, generic cooking oil
- 1 egg Beaten
Instructions
- Heat a tbsp of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef mince for 5-7 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally.
- Add onion and garlic to the pan and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened.
- Add grated carrot and sliced cabbage to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
- Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper in the pan, and stir until well combined. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- To make the lumpia, lay a spring roll wrapper flat with one corner facing towards you. Spread a thin line of beef mixture (about a tablespoon) onto the wrapper, leaving a 2cm gap from the edges.
- Fold the corner nearest to you over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper up tightly, brushing the remaining corner with beaten egg to seal.
- Repeat the process with the remaining spring roll wrappers and filling.
- Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan or wok to deep fry the lumpia until golden brown for about 3-4 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper.
- Serve the beef lumpia hot with sweet chili sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- Allow the beef and vegetable filling to cool to room temperature before wrapping to keep the spring roll wrappers crisp.
- You may add bell peppers or green beans to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
- Lumpia can be baked at 200°C for 20-25 minutes as a healthier alternative to frying, turning golden and crispy.
- Use neutral cooking oil suitable for frying to avoid overpowering flavors.
