I'd love a good recipe for lumpia. I've had some many times and on
occasion some with fresh green beans inside that were marvelous, but
don't seem to be able to recreate it using the beans myself.

I love lumpia, but I've never had it with green beans inside. I wonder if
there is a way to structure a search and find that?

I never thought of looking there since so much of what is posted in full of
premade rubbish, but this might be more from scratch than I bargained for.

http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,198,...232200,00.html seems more like
what I associate with lumpia.
I went to the wedding of my friend's Filapina housekeeper-- she and I cook
together when I am in DC -- and there were enormous platters of lumpia. I
went around asking others if they intended to marry and if they would invite
me.

I'd always thought that Lumpia were a Filipino version of Spring Rolls.
What would be the differences, fillings perhaps?

As with any home cooking, lumpia filling varies with the cook. The
first ones I ever had (as a teenager) had corn and green beans among
other things in them... and I've never been able to replicate them as
I remember them.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Interesting mix of cultures in the Philippines producing some very good
food. Ukoy anyone?

Though i was a bit miffed to find them in the frozen food section of a
local market shortly after i first learned to make them.

Here in L.A., the capitol of international food trucks, there is (at
least) one devoted to Filipino food, the Manila Machine. They use
Twitter to tell folks where they'll be.

The menu might serve as an introduction to this food. http://themanilamachine.com/menu

partial list:
Chicken adobo.
Sisig sandwich.
Lumpia.
Pan de sal sliders.
Longganisa.
Tapsilog.
and a couple of spam things.

I haven't tried/found the truck yet but I used to like the chicken
adobo and the pansit and the lumpia that a co-worker brought in for
potlucks. -aem

I was just reminiscing about lumpia and I think the first time I saw the
word was in Holland. Are they perhaps an Indonesian food too and far
from unique?

Here are a couple of very different versions with green beans from
well-regarded sources:

Let me just add that Wikipedia seems reiiable and says Lumpia are
pastries of Chinese origin and were introduced to Java by Chinese
immigrants. I am also told that Lumpia is the generic Dutch term for egg
rolls, which agrees with my memories.

Thank you for this link. I love this blog, and hadn't seen it before.

Well, given geography and history it's not much of a surprise that
there's lots of overlap in specific dishes. Lumpia are their form of
egg roll; pansit is their form of chow mein or yakisoba, soy sauce is
a commonly used flavoring. I don't know much about it but it seems to
me that their use of vinegar is characteristic, as is the use of
calamnsi and its juice. It's a kind of sour lime not used
elsewhere. -aem

thanks! I enjoyed the burntlumpia blog very much. I think that recipe is
very accurate to what I have enjoyed so much in the past.

Oh yes!! The best!! Once these folks start bringing in lumpia and pancit
to pot lucks, that is all anyone ever wants them to bring from then on!

I wish I lived in a city large enough to have food trucks. They're so
hot right now and so varied. I'd love to try some that I read about.
