About this recipe
Despite the dish’s name, it does not originate from Shanghai or China. It is a Filipino version of spring roll; its name is derived from two Hokkien words: lun, moist, and pia, pastry.
Also, the word was derived from the ancient baybayin word “loong” meaning long and round and the word “piaya” or “piyaya” in ancient tribal Filipino meaning pie or crepe or simply charcoal roast baked piece of flattened bread.
Lumpia is a classic Filipino appetizer or snack, consisting of savory spring rolls filled with a variety of ingredients. Traditionally, these delightful morsels are deep-fried to achieve a golden brown, crispy exterior. But what if you could enjoy the same deliciousness without the guilt of deep-frying?

The air fryer’s rapid air circulation technology mimics the effects of deep-frying, resulting in a remarkably crispy exterior and a juicy, flavorful interior.Not only is the Air Fryer Lumpiang Shanghai a healthier alternative, but it’s also incredibly easy to prepare. With minimal oil and a fraction of the cooking time compared to traditional methods, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or quick gatherings.
