SPAM Lumpia (SPAM Recipe: Episode 5)

Spam and cheese wrapped up and deep fried. What’s not to love?

I’ll be honest, it was a bit too salty. Wouldn’t recommend eating more than one. More of a novelty than anything.

Ingredients

  • lumpia wrapper. Menlo or Spring Home brands recommended
  • melty cheese. I used Eden brand but American yellow would do well
  • SPAM
  • egg for sealing
  • oil for deep frying

Directions

1. Slice SPAM into the classic slices and then again lengthwise for matchsticks. Slice melty cheese into similar shape. Scramble one egg in a small bowl,

2. Using a whole sheet of lumpia wrapper, place a slice of SPAM and a slice of of cheese together. Stack another slice of cheese and SPAM on top.

3. Roll the lumpia and use the scrambled egg to seal it.

4. In a pot or pan large enough to accommodate the lumpia, heat frying oil to 350° F. Drop in lumpia and fry for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to flip to fry both sides.

5. When lumpia is done frying, remove from oil and place on a cooling rack or paper towels to cool.
