filipino food isnt complete withourt lumpia!. i grew up having them around. we even had lumpia shanghai yesterday for dinner with steaming rice. there are so many variations of fillings you can use, "lumpia shanghai" are small lumpias about 3 inches long, "lumpia toge" uses monngo brean sprouts as filling, with a little ground pork/beef, "lumpia cebuana" uses sotanghon as fillings along with cabbage, carrots etc.,"fresh lumpia" uses semi cooked soft special wrappers (like crepes but unsalted and softer!) filled with fresh cabbage strips,little meat, carrots strips etc. my lumpia filling yesterday was a variation of ground pork, onions, garlic, salt and pepper, and mash potatoes. this gives the filling an extra sticky texture so it wont easily fall off or its a lot easier to wrap.

I made about 50 of these for our 4th of July block party and they tasted delicious. Definitely a 5 star recipe. I bought the lumpia rolls and they were really easy to roll. Next time I will use the spring roll wraps since these are easier to find (you have to go to an asian store to get the lumpia rolls). I am ready to make more. I used this exact recipe. Thanks for sharing.

I took these to a 4th of July BBQ and everyone loved them! I actually substituted ground chicken for the pork and they tasted great!

OH, YEAH!! You bet 5 stars!! I changed some: used turkey,extra cloves garlic (no powder) 4 stalks celery,mmmushrooms, bag o bean sprouts... I used skillet and sauce pan (cooks twice as fast), (this would be AWESOME with rice I didn't have wraps so we just ate the WHOLE thing!! -- I made it for 8 serv, but my husband and I wolfed it all in one dinner!!)

This recipe is fantastic. Tastes just like what I had when I was stationed in Baguio in the Phillipines. I have been making these for years. Hint: To cut down on the labor, use egg roll wrappers instead of lumpia/won ton wrappers. Cut in half or thirds after rolling.

I love this recipe!! I've been making these for years and I've found a trick to cut down on prep. Use bagged coleslaw mix! It's got the cabbage and carrots all ready to go. I usually use the whole bag so I double everything else. Also, the thinner you can roll these, the better. Sometimes I skip rolling them all together and serve the filling over rice. SO GOOD!!

This was the 2nd time i made these but on the first i used the wonton wrappers like another user suggested because i didnt find the spring roll/lumpia wrappers in the local grocery store. I liked them but found it difficult to wrap with the wonton so i ventured out to the Oriental Market and got the correct wrappers and the lady at the market suggested a sweet chili sauce for dipping. WOW!!!!! THIS IS A KEEPER!! make sure you use the correct wrappers though. Thank you for an original recipe!!

These were so good! I used ground turkey instead of pork, and I subbed minced potato for cabbage. Other than that I kept it the same. I am sure it would be good with any kind of meat.

This was great, took me back to my childhood. My family loved them too. I used beef (sirloin) and left out the cabbage (that's how I always had it) and used a vinegar and garlic dipping sauce. Thanks for a great recipe!

I had a neighbor when I was a kid who used to make lumpia and send over platefuls, so when I found this recipe I got very excited. They were relatively easy to make and tasted great. I used wonton wrappers (as used by other reviewers) since they were easy to find in my local market. The resulting smaller size was perfect for an appetizer. I got more than 45+ mini lumpias (maybe even more since I didn't count--the wonton package had 60 wrappers and only a small amount was left when I ran out of filling). I will certainly make these again.

Great recipe. My family loved it and I have a son who is very picky as to what he eats. The only thing I did different was used won tong wraps seeing as I was unalbe to find lumpia wraps. I will fix these again and again. Thanks

I grew up around a large Filipino population and this reminds me of 'home'. Bean sprouts could be added. Delicious! Family and friends enjoyed it as well.

This is a wonderful recipe and a staple of my kitchen now. I use spring roll wrappers because I haven't found lumpia wrappers, but the work fine. I also put a tablespoon or more of soy sauce, and I include a can of chopped water chestnuts. I use dried minced onion rather than spring onions. They're always a hit!
