Good recipe but I add raisins to mine. Banana sauce is sold at most asian markets!

Love this.. I have made before and usually end up using a little bit of soy sauce when cooking the pork for a little added flavor. It was a bit hit with my spicy pineapple dipping sauce!

I like to use all pork and sometimes add chopped cooked shrimp at the end. I also like to season the mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder and a bit of soy sauce. Shredded cabbage is good in this as well as chopped scallions. To dip, I like to make a sauce of equal parts brown sugar and water boiled down with a bit of cornstarch to thicken and then seasoned with garlic powder and red pepper flakes.

One of my favorites!! My mom is Filipino and over the years taught me how to make Lumpia. It has become a hit with all my friends and my fiance and his family. We generally use pork only in ours and instead of bell pepper, we use a couple of celery stalks and add some green onion as well. You can chop everything (individually) in a food processor. Helps the time go faster. They are great to freeze and cook later when that craving hits you!!

Last night we followed this recipe to the T, what we ended up with was bland and burnt food that was not cooked in the middle and we had to microwave to get it cooked. Reason why was because 2 tbsp of filling is WAY too much and it also needs some seasonings added. Today with the leftover meat I added freshly ground pepper and Worcestershire sauce to taste and browned the meat and vegetables. Then I only put 1 tbsp filling into the wrapper and used less oil to cook them in, they came out the right size and cooked through and much better tasting.

i have grown up eating lumpia my whole life. i grew up in California and had a lot of Fillipino influences around me. we have a variety of sauces we use in my family. plum sauce is what i grew up with and still crave it every once and a while to this day. we also get a sweet chili sauce. you can find this in asian markets. its bright orange with little red flakes in the sauce. thats my familys favorite. my mom makes a sauce that is MY favorite with 1 cup white vinegar (or you can use rice vinegar for a more mild taste) 1 tablespoon minced garlic and black pepper. sounds odd but its just amazing! my boyfriend likes sweet and sour sauce on his (he prefers the ones that are more red than orange). i hope that helps with your dipping needs!!
