Notes

Cooking Lumpia in an air fryer

Using an air fryer is also a good way to cook lumpia without using oil. In fact, it is a healthier option. I usually set the temperature to 370F and air fry my lumpia for 12 minutes. The cooking time can be extended depending on how well you want your food done.

The oil from the ground pork also gets extracted during the cooking process. You will end up with less oil crispy lumpia to munch on.

When using an air frying to cook my lumpia, I usually spray a small amount of cooking oil on the wrapper. This makes it less dry. It depends on one's preference.
