The BEST Vegetable Lumpia (Vegan Lumpia)

The BEST Vegetable Lumpia (Vegan Lumpia)

Lumpiang gulay, also known as vegetable lumpia, is a Filipino appetizer consisting of julienned or cubed vegetables with ground meat or shrimp in a thin egg crêpe that is deep-fried. A notable variant of lumpiang gulay is lumpiang togue, which is made mostly with togue (mung bean sprouts). It's origin is of both Spanish and Chinese influenced. Despite the name, lumpiang gulay is not a meat free dish since all Filipinos LOVE to put meat in everything. Growing up in meat eating household, meat is always in all our dishes. I decided to recreate this dish and use some very delicious vegan ground meat that's available in all supermarkets to make what my mom used to make for us growing up. Now we can have it cruelty free, delicious AND good for you. Hope you enjoy it!

ABOUT Chef Reina
Reina Montenegro was born and raised in Dumaguete City on the Philippine island of Negros, and moved to the Bay Area in 1997. Montenegro prides herself as being self-taught in the kitchen, and started her restaurant career as a personal chef and caterer in 2012 when she decided, after 10 years at a corporate job, to follow her passion for food and cooking.
Montenegro has created dishes for Mayors Jean Quan of Oakland, Tom Bates of Berkeley, and the late Ed Lee of San Francisco and many corporate companies in the Bay Area.
In 2016, her catering business eventually led to opening a restaurant, ‘Nick’s Kitchen’ in Daly City. A year later she decided to change the concept to be aligned with her plant based diet and cruelty free lifestyle; as the first Filipino Vegan restaurant in the Peninsula. Montenegro opened 3 popular Filipino vegan restaurants in the Bay Area; Nick’s Kitchen, ‘Nick’s On Grand’ (opened 2018 in South San Francisco), and ‘Nick’s On Mission’ (opened 2019 in San Francisco).
Now she has pivoted her business into an online storefront and has come out from behind the Nick’s brand, launching ‘Chef Reina’ in 2021 in Brisbane, CA. Reina is at her best when she’s creating in the kitchen. She enjoys spending quality time with great friends and her most precious humans, her children.
