  • Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the top of the filling. Pull tight, then roll it up. Wet the top edge with water to seal it.

  • Roll up the rest of the filling. At this point the lumpia are ready. I like to roll them up in another wrapper. This step isn’t necessary. I just like the extra layer of the wrapper. It kind of gives them a flakiness like a croissant.

  • Cut each lumpia into 3.

  • Heat up cooking oil in a small pot to 350 degrees. If shallow frying, fry for 4 minutes a side. If deep frying, fry for 5 minutes. Drain grease on paper towel.

  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I like to mix 1/4 cup banana ketchup with 1/4 cup calamansi juice.

Any extra that aren’t going to be cooked should be frozen down. I line up the lumpia on a baking sheet, making sure that they aren’t touching each other.
