What is Lumpia?
Lumpia are a type of spring roll, popular in Filipino and Indonesian cuisines, that consist of a savory filling wrapped in a thin, paper-like skin. Typically filled with meat like ground pork, along with vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, and onions, they are often deep-fried to a crispy finish. Lumpia are commonly served as a finger food appetizer with a dipping sauce like sweet chili or a vinegar-based one.
