This is not your ordinary lumpia.
Lumpia or spring rolls as we know it are bitesized snacks that are filled with either a sweet or savory filling. It’s also often deep fried until golden brown and extra crispy. They’re the perfect dish to serve for a handaan or as a pulutan. But have you ever heard of or tried a Chinese-style fresh lumpia?

They’re quite the opposite of the lumpias we’re used to. Not only are they big in size (think burritos!) but they’re also served fresh (no grease here!) and stuffed with vegetables and finished with crushed peanuts and a thick sweet sauce.
