    The Perfect No Fuss Appetizer: Lumpia Cups

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These Lumpia Cups are the perfect appetizer to make for a big crowd.  There is no wrapping required and super easy to make.

    Lumpia

    Lumpia is probably one of the foods you think about when you hear Filipino food.  It's our version of the spring roll.  I previously made a fresh one, but if you are cooking for a crowd you don't want to bother with filling and rolling all those wrappers.  My mom and I came up with a solution..lumpia cups.

    Crispy Lumpia Cups

    How you ask?  Well we used some egg roll wrappers and sprayed them with coconut oil and cut them in to quarters.

    Then we used a mini muffin tin and lined the wrappers in them shaping them like cups.

    After baking them for 15 minutes at 300F they were so crispy.

    As you can see here, they hold their shape pretty well.

    Lumpia Filling

    For the lumpia filling the key is to cut the ingredients very very small so that you can fit as much in the cup as you can.  My mom has mad knife skills so she cut everything in the same size.  They are probably just under half a centimeter squares. We put in the following ingredients:

    • carrots
    • sweet potato
    • green beans
    • potato
    • prawns
    • shallots

    The instructions on how to cook the filling can be found in this previous post.

    Filling the Cups

    To serve all you need to do is spoon the filling in the cups and serve on a platter.  The filling has so much flavor already that you don't need a sauce and that makes it so much easier to eat too.

    To make it even easier on yourself you can put out the cups and leave the filling in a bowl and have your guests serve themselves.  Dare I say it, it is the perfect appetizer to serve during the Superbowl as it can feed a crew and can be eaten utensil free.
