The first time I made these..it was a semi disaster.. The filling was good but when I tried adding them to the lumpia rolls I think I put too much filling in and they didn't look like lumpias..they looked like egg rolls and tasted like them too.I was very disappointed!.I put the filling in the fridge and went to sleep VERY frustrated.. I love eating lumpias..SO The next day I looked on YOU TUBE to see how to roll the lumpias and how much filling to put in.. AHH..it was very helpful.. I suggest putting 2 teaspoons of filling in and watching YOU TUBE video on how to roll the lumpias.. They came out so much better and tasted more like lumpias! Also, don't forget the sweet chili dipping sauce! Next time I'm going to try with ground beef 'cause I love ground beef lumpias..

I almost wish I had never tried this recipe. I almost wish I didn't know how easy and cheap it is to make these in my own kitchen. Now I find myself standing in my kitchen in the morning wondering how lumpia would go with my coffee. Seriously, these things are so easy and awesome. My boyfriend (who eats like a bird) ate 7 of them. And they are full of veggies! So what if it's fried veggies, at least they're there! Like I said, try this recipe only if you want to open the door to breakfast lumpia.

This tastes EXACTLY like the lumpia the lumpia my friend from the Philippines makes. It is amazing and so easy to make! Just a note...fresh rice paper or frozen rice paper are easier to work with.

I bought a bag of cole slaw mix and added canned mini shrimps instead of pork. I used a little too much salt (didn't measure salt), but they otherwise tasted good. I'll try again tomorrow using pork and less salt. Best I've tried. Thank you.

I used this recipe with a few minor changes. I added 2Tsps of oyster flavored sauce and a dash of MSG (Accent) to the mix.

This is the absolute closest that lumpia has ever gotten to my grandma's amazing recipe. To add more flavor, I used a TON (like quadruple the amount) of cabbage and twice the amount of carrots. I also have made this recipe with ground pork mixed with ground beef. DELICIOUS! Thanks for the recipe!

Best I ever made. Please my very picky spring roll eater. She said they were "Heaven". I made them exactly to the recipe. Thanks for posting it!

After my husband ate 5 1/2 rolls, I had to prohibit him from eating more so he doesn't get a stomach ache. The taste was not like my grandma's lumpia but it was still good.
