I made this for my boyfriend's birthday. He used to get it when he was in the air force and stationed in Guam, and he talked about it all the time. They came out soooo good, and he loved it. The recipe only yields about 15 lumpia though, not the 30 that they say. I left the salt out like many other reviewers said to, and they came out great! Loved it!

We really enjoyed these!! For variation, I added some diced shrimp and glass noodles...made it into more of a spring roll, I guess. Brought it to a family gathering and there was none left on the tray. Great recipe LatinaCook, thanks for sharing.

I made these this weekend along with pancit and filipino bar-b-que... Big hit! everyone enjoyed the lumpia! Next time I will have to find lumpia wrappers because the spring roll wrappers (all i could find) didn't work too well... thanks for sharing!

These are very good. I love lumpia so I was very excited to find this recipe. Next time I have to remember to have sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

I used ground beef and that is the only change I made. I will defintely double the veggies next time and the lumpia wrappers were a little hard to work with (for me) but they were delicious ! Will definetly make again maybe I can get the hang of it !

I prefer ground pork instead of ground hamburger because the ground pork has a lot more flavor. My Filipino Dad who is a great cook told me to add chopped shrimp for more flavor. I season the meat mixture with oyster sauce. I found it easier to buy from my local supermarket in Hawaii the chop suey mix (shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, string beans) that comes in a bag.

These are very good. We used egg roll wrappers and used 2 cups shredded cabbage. Other than that we kept the recipe the same and used a sweet and sour dipping sauce. We also froze the lumpias after wrapping, then fried when ready to eat. The wrappers on the frozen ones were a little chewy, but the ones that we cooked immediately after assembling were crispy.

This was SOOO good. Reminds me so much of the lumpia that the ladies at my church would make. I omitted the onions since I have picky kids and used onion salt instead. Also....to make this SO much easier on you, I bought the coleslaw bag of cabbage, and a bag of shredded carrots. I did put the carrots in a chopper to mince them but the already shredded cabbage made this recipe the easiest ever. Also, my mother in law suggested mixing corn starch with water in a bowl and using that as the glue. Worked like a charm. I froze the extra rolls for easy frying next time!

I had wanted to make these for a long time, but I thought that they would be really hard to make. Boy, was I wrong. They are really easy and they taste wonderful!! My family loves them. I have made them twice, the first time I used ground turkey, and the second I did not use any meat. They are great both ways.

This recipe was wonderful! And not difficult to make at all. The only thing I did different from the recipe was add about a teaspoon of sesame oil to the mixture. I did find that three heaping tablespoons of mixture per roll only made about 15 instead of the 30 the recipe is supposed to make. So the second time I made them I only did about a tablespoon of mixture and got a lot more rolls. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

This is sooooo good and not as hard to make as I thought. It didn't make as many egg rolls as it said, however, so I doubled the recipe. It is greasy but even my kids loved it!

We moved recently and didn't have access to the shop we normally got our lumpia from. When I found this one, we tried it and loved it! It is definitely a crowd pleaser.

These were super easy to make, i used extra lean beef with carrots and celery. I also added alittle ginger. Turned out great, just make sure you keep the spring roll shells moist or you'll have a hard time folding!( found out the hard way) I also didnt use that much oil for cooking, alittle goes along way for a less greasy roll. I will make again!

Made this recipe twice and it was great both times. I did use more soy sauce and also added some shrimp. Only thing I didn't like is that they are really greasy. I will continue working on lowering the grease factor but other than that a great recipe.
