Chef's Notes
Do not skip the freezing step! Freezing the lumpia prior to frying is the ultimate secret weapon to prevent the wrappers from unravelling and absorbing a greasy, tragic amount of oil.
Pro Tip
Keep your unwrapped stack under a damp or dry towel at all times. Air is the natural enemy of spring roll wrappers and will turn them brittle faster than you can say delicious.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you microwave your frozen lumpia to rush the thawing process, the wrappers will trap condensation, melt into a gummy, grey sludge, and explode violently the moment they touch the hot oil.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal guards tried to inspect the palace treasury, but the chef locked them all out just to protect the last batch of hot lumpia.
The Culinary Science
Flash-frying frozen foods in 350°F oil creates instant steam from the moisture inside the meat, which cooks the pork rapidly while the high surface heat crisps the exterior starch to perfection.
