Filipino Fish Lumpia (Bangus Lumpia)

These lumpias are a delicious Filipino fish dish with bangus (milkfish) served as an appetizer. Serve hot with (store bought) sweet chile sauce.

Step: 1

Remove scales, gills, and internal organs from bangus. Wash the inside of the fish. Slice open the backside to expose the meat. Pour soy sauce on top; squeeze lemon over the meat.

Step: 2

Pour enough water into a pot to cover the bangus. Bring to a boil. Add the bangus and boil until fish is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step: 3

Let bangus cool until safe to handle, at least 10 minutes. Remove bones.

Step: 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the fish meat, peas, carrot, raisins, and celery. Season filling with salt and pepper.

Step: 5

Wrap 1 tablespoon of the fish filling in a lumpia wrapper. Continue until remaining filling and wrappers are used up.

Step: 6

Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry lumpias in batches in the hot oil until just light brown, 5 to 7 minutes per batch.
