Air Fryer Lumpiang Shanghai

Lumpiang Shanghai, the Filipino version of an egg roll is a popular appetizer that is present at most Filipino gatherings. It can be made with any type of protein such as ground pork, chicken, shrimp or just vegetables then deep fried. My Air Fryer Lumpiang Shanghai skips the unnecessary amounts of oil without sacrificing that crispy exterior that we all love.  

There are dozens of variations of Lumpiang Shanghai and each Filipino family has their own special recipe. Personally, I like to use a combination of ground pork and shrimp then mix in some mushrooms and water chestnuts. You can try my base recipe and make it your own by incorporating specific ingredients that you love. I’ve seen some lumpia with an equal ratio of protein to veggies, some that are purely protein or vegetarian. 

I love eating this Air Fryer Lumpiang Shanghai dipped in readily available bottled sweet chili sauce or my homemade Spiced Vinegar. Make this for your next potluck or gathering and surprise everyone with this healthier version.
