Filling Ingredients:

  • Mushrooms - any type

Saute the garlic and onion in a bit oil, add the others, stir until tender crisp and set aside to cool. Season with soy sauce.

How to wrap Lumpia

When the filling cooled off a bit, wrap the filling in as shown from the corner of the wrapper to the other corner tucking the corners in tight.  The wrappers (can be found in any Asian store) should hold about 2 tablespoonfuls of the vegetable filling. 

When the fillings are wrapped, deep fry them in hot oil. Coconut oil is most preferable. After all, it's a Filipino dish, coconut oil is widely used in the Philippines. It's rated the healthiest oil out there being most of the oils that are produced in the US are GMO (genetically modified). So, coconut oil is the king of oils in my kitchen.
