This recipe is a modified version of lumpiang shanghai where star ingredient here is pechay. It is combined with ground chicken meat instead of ground pork so I’m sure this is a very healthy alternative to the lumpiang shanghai. The rest of the ingredients are very similar to the lumpiang shanghai so it will be easy for you to cook this dish specially if you have tried making and cooking lumpiang shanghai. And with regard to dipping sauce, my favorite dipping sauce for fried foods is sweet chili sauce but you can use catsup mixed with mayonnaise or any dipping sauce you want.
