The milkfish is an unofficial national symbol of the Philippines, where it is called by the Tagalog name bangus.












Lumpiang Bangus / Milk Fish Spring Rolls

Lumpiang Bangus / Milk Fish Spring Rolls



Ingredients and cooking procedure after the jump.









Ingredients:

1 Large-sized bangus

1 medium onion

1 1/4 cup raisins

Vegetable oil for frying

3 medium-sized tomatoes

1 tsp. pounded garlic

30 lumpia wrappers

Salt and pepper to taste



Cooking Procedure:

1. Clean the fish, boil it until itís tender but not too soft and then remove the flesh from the bones and set it aside.

2. Cut the onions and tomatoes into small pieces.

3. Saute' the garlic, onion and tomatoes, add fish meat and raisins, season with salt and pepper. Set aside and cool.

4. Get a tablespoonful of the cooked fish and wrap it. Remember, use the tablespoon to measure the meat that you wrap.

5. In a deep fryer pour the vegetable oil, when you think its hot enough pour the lumpia one by one to avoid sticking to each other.

6. Fry it until golden brown. Drain in absorbent paper and serve hot with sweet & sour sauce or the Lumpia sauce that you made out of the recipe that I post here. 



Tips: Most of the supermarkets sell Lumpia Wrapper in square shape and you can buy different sizes. But I prefer to use the round lumpia wrapper that you can buy in a public market if you are in the Philippines. Or if you have lots of time to spare, you can prepare the wrapper yourself. You can find the recipe and the procedure on how to do it here in this blog.
