Lumpia In a Skillet

This Lumpia In a Skillet s is my version of the Filipino lumpia, or egg roll, but without the wrap, and without having to deep fry. This is a stir-fry recipe of ground beef, and vegetables cooked in a skillet, seasoned with soy sauce and citrusy calamansi. This is a warm, cozy dish, yet cooks in minutes. Perfect for weeknight dinners or a weekend family meal. This is an Asian in America recipe by Elizabeth Ann Quirino.

Cook's comments:

  • You can also swap lean ground pork for the beef in this recipe. The results are just as delicious.
    If calamansi is not available, use lemons instead.
    You can add chopped or sliced vegetables in season or of your preference. This is a very versatile dish. Adjust seasonings to taste.
