Lumpiang tinapa at mangga (smoked fish and mango spring rolls)

Go to page 1 2 3 »»

I was cooking lunch last Sunday when my husband saw the recipe for a fish-and-mango lumpia (spring rolls) on a local TV cooking show. I wasn’t really paying attention because I was busy in the kitchen. I’m not sure which cooking show it was but it definitely wasn’t Geny Sison’s. My husband wanted to try the lumpia at home–the combination of salty fish with sweet ripe mangoes and the unique flavor of cilantro was really interesting. But we both knew that the kids wouldn’t like tuyo (dried salted fish) which the recipe called for. They can’t stand anything that salty. We decided we’d substitute tinapa (smoked fish). Everything else would be as the original recipe required.

filling for the lumpia (spring rolls): tinapa (amoked fish) fillets, diced tomatoes, strips of sweet ripe mangoes, cilantro, tofu cubes and commercial lumpia wrappers

To make the tinapa and mango lumpia, you will need 2 large ripe mangoes, cut into strips; a cake of silken tofu, cut into small cubes (I think the original recipe used firm tofu; I’m not really sure); 2 large tomatoes, seeded and diced; 12 large lumpia wrappers; 2 boneless tinapang bangus (smoked milkfish), skins removed and the meat broken into strips; a bunch of cilantro, tough ends removed; salt and pepper; and about 4 cups of vegetable oil for deep frying.

    dear ms. connie,

    thnaks for posting a unique lumpia recipe…i have all the ingredients, except for the cilantro…pag wala ako makita , i’ll try leeks or spring onions? pwede din siguro yun no?
    ano dipping sauce niya kaya? would the traditional vinegar with garlic be okay din kaya?

    wahtever, i’ll try to experiment…
    thanks sa recipe….
