Vegan Lumpia (Lumpiang Shanghai)

November 18, 2022 By Ashley Leave a Comment

This vegan Lumpiang Shanghai is much like its original counterpart – spring roll wrappers are filled with seasoned vegan meat, carrots, onions, and garlic then rolled into cigar-shaped egg rolls. They’re then fried until golden and perfectly crisp. Serve with sweet & sour sauce and banana ketchup for an appetizer that everyone is sure to love!

Earlier this year, TasteAtlas ranked Lumpia (Lumping Shanghai), as the world’s second best street food — and for good reason! These cigar-shaped spring rolls are the perfect combination of crispy, savory, and salty goodness! Growing up, lumpia was served at every occasion and they were always the first to go. I remember watching my mom roll what seemed liked hundreds of lumpia for every celebration and gathering, and to be able to continue that tradition means so much to me! This year, we’ll be rolling them together for Thanksgiving and I can’t wait to make new traditions and memories! If you’re thinking about making something absolutely delicious (and slightly addicting) this holiday season, this is your sign to make this vegan lumpia! But this is also your warning, because once you make them, you will be asked to make them all the time!

Grab a drink and let’s make the best vegan lumpia!

Texas-style nachos are not your average nachos. You know the kind I’m talking about – a disorderly pile of chips, unevenly loaded with various toppings that are recklessly placed one top. It’s like chip roulette…maybe your nacho chip will be soggy, maybe it’ll be completely naked and bare of any toppings, maybe it’ll have some toppings, or maybe it’ll just have a fragment of one. Honestly, it’s a mess. And that’s where these perfectly crafted, OG, Texas-style nachos come in.

Grab a drink and I’ll show you how to make this crowd-pleasing snack!

If you know me, then you know I love a classic, no-frills burger and you know I love pasta.

Vegan Pull Apart SlidersItalian Sub Pull Apart Sliders

These Italian Sub Pull Apart Sliders are inspired by one of my favorite sandwiches before going vegan … the Italian BMT from Subway 🙂 Years ago, I used to work across the street from a Subway, and for about 3 months straight, I would get a BMT every. single. day for lunch. Don’t ask me why, but the obsession was very real.

Anyway, fast forward many years later and here we are with these Italian Sub Pull Apart Sliders – they’re like the mini vegan handheld version of the BMT, only better if I do say so myself 😉 I honestly never thought I’d have a sandwich like the BMT again, but vegan deli meats are getting better and better every year and I promise you, even staunch meat-eaters will devour these!
