This recipe is great! I agree with no salt. Like my mom does, crushed some fresh garlic and mix with some vinegar (enough for dipping) with salt and pepper. Dip your lumpia in it! Enjoy

I made it for my husband, he thought it was pretty good. I'm not too keen on the taste but my husband fell in love with Filipino food while stationed in Korea so I decided to make it for him.

The lumpia wrappers seemed difficult (but I have never cooked with them before), I think I will try to make my own next time. Other than that, the recipe tasted great!

This recipe was so simple and so easy to prepare! I took the advice of others and omitted the salt and added a lot of extra cabbage to the mix. To save on time, I used pre-shredded cabbage from the supermarket! I will definitely try this recipe again and try some variations to kick up the flavour a little bit. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing :)

I've tried several kinds of lumpia, and these were just ok....not my favorite though. My husband loves every type of food out there and HE didn't even care for these too much.

My mother is Filipino and this tastes just like home! I love it! I think I will try it next time with ground beef. Did exact as recipe states and turned out perfect! Thanks so much! Can't wait to make them again for a party!

This is the best lumpia that I have ever had. I used Napa cabbage. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

Our family loves lumpia, this recipe is similar to the one that I use. I have a question for anyone that might be able to answer it. Our local Oriental market closed and I can't get the wrappers anywhere, does anyone know of an online store that ships these wrappers ? Thanks

These are a lot like the ones a co worker of mine used to make. My suggestion is to nix the salt, it's not needed and it makes them taste very salty.

I couldn't find plain ground pork, so I used "country" style ground pork. And my green cabbage was crazy expensive, so I used 1/2 the amount of red cabbage and some bean sprouts instead... still even with the tweaks, they came out delicious. I will definately make again. Mine came out a bit oily even though I tried really hard to drain everything well.

OMG! These are awesome! My husband actually suggested I wrap up the filling with 2 wrappers instead of just 1, which turned out perfect! My family devoured these! Thankyou sooo much for the recipe!

I made a few changes. I omitted the onions. I doubled the green onions and carrots (used 1 cup EACH). I used 2 cups of Napa Cabbage. I only had access to eggroll wrappers. It made 30 lumpia. My husband and I had lumpia often where we used to live. This is something we have really missed. This tastes just like "the real thing". Thank you SOOOOO much!

Fantastic!!!! Tastes WONDERFUL! You could exchange Bean Sprouts (Mung) for Cabbage. I did that because my husband hates cabbage... Still tastes GREAT!

This is a very good recipe but I must admit that I made some modifications. I used cooked chicken breast which I ground in the food processor and turkey sausage. I also added more garlic, some grated ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, a little apple cider vinegar and a little sake (around a tbsp). I am sure it's not very authentic but it was extremely tasty!

I am Filipino and have tasted many different Lumpia recipes...this was a great one! I found you have to be very careful with the temperature of the oil, definitely keep it at medium. If the oil is too hot, the outside cooks too quickly and the inner wrapper doesn't get crispy. I used Spring Roll wrappers from the Chinese grocery store.

These are very good! I have used this recipe 3 times & they are simple & delicious! The only changes I made were 1) I doubled the vegetables 2) Instead of veg. oil, I prepped the filling in sesame oil, and 3) I added about 1/2 tsp freshly ground ginger. There is a simple tomato paste-pineapple based sweet & sour sauce on this website that goes excellent w/ these.

When I lived in San Diego, from time to time our Filipino friends would make lumpia and bring some to work, or by the house. It was a very big favorite of ours. Since we moved to Maryland, we haven't had it, and I've been looking for a recipe for it. This one is fantastic, if it's not exactly the same as we used to get from our friends, it's very, very close. Thank you for sharing it.

I have never made ANYTHING asian before. I'm not that great of a cook, but I suprised my husband (whom) loves this dish the other night. It was so easy to make and it turned out WONDERFUL! He took the rest into work for lunch the next day and shared it with the guys. They were impressed that I made it by hand. I plan to make more VERY soon. SO Thank you so much for this recipe. Now I have a great appetizer to make for parties.
