🧀 Tofu & Mushroom Filling

This filling is hearty, savory, and satisfying—even without meat. The grated cheese helps bind everything together while adding extra flavor.

1. In a large bowl, crumble the pressed tofu by hand until it looks like minced meat.
2. Add finely chopped mushrooms, red onions, and spring onions. Mix until well combined.
3. Stir in grated cheese, then crack in the eggs and mix again.
4. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. The mixture should hold together slightly.

🥟 Wrapping the Lumpia

Lumpia wrappers dry out quickly, so be sure to keep them covered as you work.

1. Separate the wrappers and keep them under a damp towel.
2. Place one wrapper in front of you in a diamond shape.
3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the lower third.
4. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly.
5. Seal the tip with water. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

🧊 Make-ahead tip: You can freeze the wrapped, uncooked lumpia in a single layer on a tray. Once firm, transfer them to resealable bags. No need to thaw before frying!

You’ll know they’re ready when the wrappers are golden and crisp.

💡 FAQs

Can I bake or air-fry instead of deep-frying?
Yes! Brush the lumpia with oil and bake or air-fry at 190°C/375°F until golden, turning once.

Can I freeze them before frying?
Absolutely. Freeze uncooked rolls on a tray, transfer to bags, and fry straight from frozen.

What veggies can I add?
Try shredded carrots, cabbage, or chopped water chestnuts—just keep the ratios so the mix still holds together.
