• Drain cooked vegetables well before wrapping to prevent soggy lumpia.
• Fry over medium heat so the wrapper crisps evenly without burning.
• Roll lumpia tightly to prevent oil from seeping in during frying.
Ingredients Tips:
• Substitute ground pork with ground chicken or omit meat for a vegetarian version.
• Add sweet potatoes or singkamas for natural sweetness.
• Use thin lumpia wrappers for maximum crispiness.
