Pork Lumpia Shanghai Wrappers
What it is
These are thin, delicate wrappers specifically designed for making lumpia, a popular Filipino spring roll. They are typically made from wheat flour, water, and a little salt, creating a crisp and golden exterior when fried. The wrappers are often sold frozen or refrigerated to maintain their freshness and pliability, ensuring they don't tear easily during the rolling process. They provide the essential casing for a variety of savory fillings.
How people cook with it
These wrappers are the foundation for creating delicious, crispy lumpia, perfect for appetizers or snacks.
- Appetizer rolls
- Party snacks
- Side dish
- Finger food
To use, thaw the wrappers if frozen according to package directions. Carefully separate one wrapper at a time, keeping the remaining ones covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying. Place a portion of your prepared filling near one corner of the wrapper. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly towards the opposite corner to form a neat cylinder. Seal the edge with a little water or a cornstarch slurry. Fry in hot oil until golden brown and crisp.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other spring roll wrappers, lumpia wrappers are often thinner and more delicate, resulting in a crispier, less doughy texture when fried. They are specifically formulated to achieve that signature crunch associated with authentic lumpia.

How to keep the rest
Store unused wrappers in their original packaging in the refrigerator if fresh, or in the freezer if frozen. Once opened, keep them tightly sealed to prevent them from drying out. If thawed, do not refreeze.
