Pritong Lumpiang Togue

Be it filled with meat, vegetable or mix of both, FRIED LUMPIA is always an enjoyable treat . The gastronomic sensation of having crispy fried lumpia dipped in vinegar garlic sauce (or sweet chili sauce) always makes me salivate just with the thought.


Usually its a mixture of ground meat and vegetables when we make lumpia, but at times if we made a big batch of pancit molo filling then it also makes a good fried lumpia. Fishes like bangus and tilapia also makes delicious lumpia filling.



Here's a basic Fried Lumpia recipe

Ingredients
  • 1/2 kilo ground pork or beef
  • 1 cup togue (monggo sprouts)
  • 1 cup julienned (thin strips) carrots
  • 1 cup julienned (thin strips) baguio beans
  • 5 big cloves of garlic, minced


  • 1 big onion, minced
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Soy Sauce
  • Spring Roll wrapper
  • Cooking oil (enough for deep frying 3-4 cups )
  • Vinegar and crushed garlic as dip

How to make Fried Lumpia
  1. In a heated wok or pan, place ground meat and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Sauté-in garlic and onions.
  3. Put-in the monggo sprouts and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the carrots and Baguio beans and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Season with salt, pepper and soy sauce to your desired flavor


  6. Remove from the pan and let cool.
  7. Wrap the cooked vegetable in spring roll (lumpia) wrapper.
  8. In a deep fryer or pan, heat oil until hot enough.
  9. Deep fry the wrapped lumpia until the the wrapper turns golden brown. Cook in batches like 4-5 pieces at a time depending on size of your pan to maintain the hot oil temperature.


  10. Remove from the fryer and place in a collander to let the oil dip. You can also use a plate or any container lined with paper towel to absorb excess oils.
  11. Serve with vinegar and crushed garlic dip. Sweet and chili sauce or tomato catsup also makes good dips.

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube...

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.

Pork Sarciado

This savory and delicious combination of pork ang vegetables is always an extra rice magnet. Much more so if drizzled with hot sauce, a personal favorite. A much simpler version of Pork Menudo, the only difference is the absence of tomato sauce. Just some bread crumbs to thicken the sauce. No need for fancy ingredients either, to give its Spanish origins a gastronomic salute but just in its simplest form, it could already be a hunger satisfier. Now let's begin...
