The tinapa or smoked fish is one of the favorite breakfast dishes of Filipinos.

But, did you know that it could also be used as an ingredient of another Pinoy favorite, the lumpia?

Pinas Sarap host Kara David said that her go-to tinapa dish is the Kapampangan soup called Tinapa Soup with Ampalaya Leaves that her father taught her.

However, for Pinas Sarap's ECQusina live cooking show on Facebook, she cooked a unique dish she's never tried before, the Lumpiang Tinapa.

Lumpia or spring rolls is said to have originated from China's Fujian province and has become a well-loved dish in Indonesia, Philippines, and other Asian countries.

Most of the time, lumpia contains giniling or ground meat.

However, for Kara's recipe, the giniling will be substituted with tinapa, which has a salty and smoky flavor.

To recreate Kara's Lumpiang Tinapa recipe, you'll need the following ingredients:

• Tinapa/smoked fish flakes
• Tomatoes
• Salted egg
• Scallions
• Chili pepper
• Lumpia wrapper

You can serve your Tinapang Lumpia with parsley, lettuce, sliced cucumber and tomatoes.

Watch and learn how to make Lumpiang Tinapa in in Pinas Sarap's official Facebook page.
