TasteAtlas describes the Lumpiang Shanghai as “the most popular variety of lumpia, the crispy deep-fried Filipino snack that evolved from Chinese spring rolls. Even though lumpia appears in numerous variations, the Shanghai version is characterized by a savory filling which combines ground pork or beef with carrots, onions, various seasonings, and (occasionally) shrimps.”
Lumpiang Shanghai is sold as a snack at street stalls throughout the country and is also a staple dish served on special occasions and fiestas.
The Filipino snack can be eaten with a sweet and sour dipping sauce, catsup, or mayonnaise.
TasteAtlas recently listed 5 versions of the Philippines’ pancit in the 50 Best Noodle Dishes world ranking. The travel site also named Sinigang, a sour soup native to the Philippines, the World’s No. 1 vegetable soup.
