Fresh Lumpia (Spring Rolls)
The filling is a mixture of sautéed ground meat, cabbage, bean sprouts and carrots. They are wrapped in a thin spring roll wrapper, and then deep fried.
It still needs to be wrapped, but doesn’t require any frying. It is commonly served with a garlic dipping sauce that is both sweet and salty.
The meat could be chopped or ground pork, chicken or shrimp. The vegetables could be lettuce, cabbage, turnips, jicama or water chestnuts.
