WHAT MAKES FRIED LUMPIANG UBOD SO TEMPTING?

The rich flavours and remarkable adaptability of fried lumpiang ubod make it stand out. However, what precisely makes it so alluring? Let’s discover it:

Palm Heart:

Lumpiang ubod’s main ingredient is heart of palm, or “ubod” as it is known locally. Unlike other spring rolls, this one has a distinct crunch and subtle earthy flavour from the soft, slightly sweet vegetable. Heart of palm, which is low in calories and high in nutrients, makes this dish a healthy treat.

Wrapping:

The distinctive crunch of fried lumpiang ubod is derived from the crunchy wrapping. It is fried to golden perfection using tiny spring roll wrappers, guaranteeing a delicious crackle with every bite. The delicate, juicy filling inside is pleasantly contrasted with this outer layer.

Meat and Vegetables

A medley of vegetables, such as cabbage, beans, and carrots, adds crisp and brilliant colour while the heart of palm takes centre stage. For an extra layer of savoury pleasure, some recipes additionally call for ground chicken, shrimp, or pork. Every bite is delicious due to the blend of flavours and textures.

Sauce:

The absence of a tasty dipping sauce makes no lumpia complete. The fried lumpiang ubod is ideally complemented with a traditional sweet and tangy sauce prepared with garlic, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar. Chilli sauce or freshly chopped chillies can be used for extra zing for people who like a spicy kick.

Customization:

The versatility of fried lumpiang ubod is one of its best features. This recipe may be customised to fit any palate, whether you like it vegetarian, packed with meat, or served with unusual sauces. It’s a recipe that works well for both special occasions and regular meals.

• Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer before frying the lumpia. Batch-fry the lumpia till crispy and golden brown. To get rid of extra oil, drain on paper towels.
  Place the lumpia on a plate for serving.
