But I do...No, I don't put raisins in my lumpia. But I do put raisins in the empanadas that my mother-in-law taught me to make. Those are more like pastries filled with seasoned meat, vegetables and raisins and sometimes even hard boiled eggs. <br /><br />Well... she gave me instructions, but I kind of had to research the ingredients list a bit since she wasn't very good at quantifying her ingredients. LOL. She'd say, "Put a bit of this and a bit of that into it." I'd say, "How much is a bit?" and she'd use her fingers in the air to show me. So yeah... I had to do a little research of my own on just about every Filipino dish that she inspired me to learn how to cook.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172164454168873546.post-89930771247326380582010-01-25T10:22:06.621-08:002010-01-25T10:22:06.621-08:00Do you put raisins in it?

The last time I made them ...I make homemade lumpia! The last time I made them was for New Year's Eve along with the Filipino noodle dish, pancit. My husband is Filipino and so I learned how to cook a few traditional dishes partly through verbal instructions from my late mother-in-law and partly through two cookbooks that I have.<br /><br />The recipe I use is very similar to the one you linked to, Lisa. I don't use cabbage, though, and add water chestnuts for a little crunch. Traditionally, ground pork is used, but I have made them with ground turkey to make them a bit healthier and I cook them in a shallow amount of oil as opposed to deep frying them. The turkey obviously isn't as flavorful as the pork, but it sure does reduce the guilt. ;)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172164454168873546.post-90435695024856530132010-01-25T09:12:53.358-08:002010-01-25T09:12:53.358-08:00I am not an expert, but my sister in law makes it ...I am not an expert, but my sister in law makes it with any kid of ground meat, I think. It wasn't tedious at all to make, cooking the stuff was no different from any other meal. Then rolling took a while, but I bet would be really fast if you had done it a few times. Even so, we'll do it again. As I said, ours probably weren't very authentic, but they were good.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401807675546808620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172164454168873546.post-84716158044555876622010-01-25T09:09:10.108-08:002010-01-25T09:09:10.108-08:00Wow Lisa, you made one from scratch?

Lumpia for sure is tasty - though I didn't even know it uses a ground pork? Thought all along it's ground beef.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184417571128435910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172164454168873546.post-27772274490730319382010-01-24T19:12:59.911-08:002010-01-24T19:12:59.911-08:00I had a co-worker once that made them for me on a ...I had a co-worker once that made them for me on a regular basis. I LOVE them. I so wish she was around to make them for me now. I've tried to make them. We have plenty of Asian markets in Los Angeles but they just aren't the same.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.com
