question about eggroll spring roll wrappers

griffin · 07-22-2005, 05:36 PM

im sure theres a difference but i went to the asian grocery and bought two packages of wrappers. one was called lumpia and had 9 carbs and was huge the other the size of a standard tortillia and was 4 carbs. i was originally looking for the noodles on another post but couldnt remember the name. i assume these are ok, as long as i count in daily allowance? this would be a nice change now and again with all the nice veggies out. i thought they would be higher as most have been looking for a way to makle these, me included.like a idiot i got another package and misread it i thought it said 6 1/2 carbs , it was 61

.is there a hidden reason i shouldnt use these, or have i struck gold? boy they be nice with crab and cream cheese.

Beeb · 07-23-2005, 07:02 AM

These sound too good to me true!! Can you list the ingredients and brand names?

Thanks, I would LOVE an eggroll!!!

dizneegirl · 07-25-2005, 10:09 PM

If you don't mind eating flour and sugar, you should be fine eating them, just count the carbs in your daily total.

I'm guessing the reason for the "low" carb count is that they're extremely thin, and that's the count for each wrapper.

Were the noodles you were looking for shiratake? The yam flour noodles?

griffin · 07-26-2005, 05:03 AM

im not sure if it was shirataake- just want ed some info for something different, but i havent had a chance to look lately. anything would be nice.

Lumpia are Filipino spring rolls. Most of the lumpia wrappers are large and very thin.

I think that the Wei Chun wrappers are thicker Chinese Egg Roll wrappers (small and square?).

I think you'd get more low carb bang for your buck with the lumpia wrappers...

Beeb · 07-26-2005, 08:53 AM

I assume these can be filled and fried like a 'real' spring roll, correct? If so I am NOW IN HEAVEN!!!

Thanks!

Yes, you could use them for everything. My father always filled Lumpia wrappers with plantain bananas and deep fried them before drizzling the honey on.

I bet you could fill them with shrimp, ground meats, shredded vegies, apples, blueberries, strawberries...

Beeb · 07-28-2005, 07:21 PM

I went to the most awesome Asia market yesterday!! It was filled with so many wonderful things and the store was HUGE!! Wish I knew what half the stuff was used for!!

Got the spring roll wrapper, 25 for 99 cents!! Made my own spring rolls for dinner last night.

Here is what I did:

2 cups bok choy, shredded
2 ribs celery, sliced long ways really, really thin
4 scallions, just the green part, sliced thin
1/2 cup bean spouts
2 mini carrots, grated
1 cup cabbage, shredded
1 tbls Sesame
1 tbls Olive Oil
Enough oil of choice to cover the rolls half way up in a heavy bottomed pan.

Heat oil.

While oil is heating, stir fry all ingredients in Sesame and Olive Oil for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Put a 1/4 cup amount in the middle of the spring roll wrapper, wrap and fry. These brown quickly, so keep an eye on them. About 2 minutes on each side, on medium/high heat.

Drain on papertowel, dip in soy sauce or asian sauce of choice and enjoy!0.

I made six with this recipe, but you may have more or less depending on how full you make the rolls.

CMIODOWS · 07-31-2005, 05:50 AM

Beeb, those egg rolls sound good. How did they taste? Were they comparable to the real ones? Thanks.

Alison Jean 71 · 07-31-2005, 06:20 AM

Sounds yummy.. I think I am going to add fresh ginger and maybe a little cooked ground pork. Looks like I am going to the market today! Thanks for the recipe.

Beeb · 07-31-2005, 09:03 AM

I have to say these tasted better than the ones you get for takeout. Plus, they were so fresh, and the ones I put in refrig for the next day, when heated in the toaster oven, came out wonderful, nice and crisp. I could eat these everyday, but I know I would be in trouble if I did!!

dollkey · 05-14-2010, 11:17 PM

sorry to revive an old thread. But I've been meaning to find the carb count for lumpia wrappers. I really lke them and you can even make fresh lumpia (it's a different wrapper, softer and you eat it without being cooked).

beeb, thank goodness you're still here and active. are you still eating lumpia? I really miss spring rolls!

Yup, still eating these babies! I just love them!!

dollkey · 05-14-2010, 11:38 PM

like how many rolls can you eat? You need to try the fresh ones! So yummy!

We usually make this with a little bit of ground pork, julienned jicama, carrot (skip this if you like), cabbage and onions. Wrap and deep fry. SOOOO good! I might just pick some up at the grocery today. So glad I found this thread!

SCOTTSDALEJULIE · 05-15-2010, 11:40 AM

Oh boy, I am going to have to go to the chinese market. Julie

dollkey · 06-10-2010, 04:28 AM

ARGH! I'm still on my quest to make lumpia. I wanna make the ones I used to have in college, lots of bean sprouts, green beans and pork then drenched in vinegar. But I bought the wrong wrapper UGH.

Divabunny · 06-11-2010, 11:35 AM

Lumpia wrappers for the most part are low carb if you consider 4-6 carbs per wrap low. I actually buy mine frozen already prepared from the grocery store. 4 Carbs per roll and I usually have about three. Portion control can be an issue with these because they are just so darn good!

Is that 4-6 carbs JUST the wrap? Because the one I bought was 3 g per wrap, just the wrap. I also bought the one that doesn't need to be fried

It's for fresh lumpia.

From wiki

Quote:

Lumpiang Sariwa, or fresh spring rolls in English, consist of minced ubod (heart of palm), flaked chicken, crushed peanuts, and turnips as an extender in a double wrapping of lettuce leaf and a yellowish egg crepe. The accompanying sauce is made from chicken or pork stock, a starch mixture, and fresh garlic. This variety is not fried and is usually around 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length; it is also the most popular among the Filipino variants[citation needed]. It is derived from the original Chinese popiah.

vastamper · 06-12-2010, 10:13 AM

Yummy thread! I may try these next week. The smaller thinner hence lower carb wrappers.

Ground pork, chopped spring onions will be inside mine. I will just lightly saute them in oil, more of a dumpling.

That's for the whole roll...at least the ones I buy that are pre-made I just have to fry them up.

These are not very big though, I could easily eat 10 of these but limit myself to only 3 at a time.

dollkey · 06-14-2010, 07:57 PM

My lumpia craving has passed... thankfully.

What is the brand name of the frozen ones you buy? I am heading to the store tonight and would love to indulge.

I'm sorry I wish I could remember the name but I don't have any in my freezer now! I buy it at Safeway - I find them in the Freezer section. We have a small little ethnic section and that's where I find them - BUT I think there made by a local company here in California so I don't think you'll find them where you are. I'm sure you can probably find something equivalent though.

Will go to Safeway tonight and try to find them. Thanks.

Have y'all heard of Yuba? It's Soy (tofu) skin... and can be used for wraps. It's very low in carbs,
3. 2 grams carb per serving, 1.9 grams fiber.

I found a recipe for spring rolls using it--
The Modern VEGETARIAN - Recipes: Homemade Vegetarian Noodle Prawn

Wouldn't be hard to low carb the recipe...

I'm planning a trip to one of our Asian Grocers this week-- and plan to try them. I'm thinking I might see if they have them fresh, and see if it's something I can actually pull together...

I posted a recipe for the ones I made somewhere in the beginning of this thread. Maybe this will give you an idea!
