Notes
- Add strips of jalapeno or finger chili peppers (siling haba) if you want a spicy kick.
- Drain well and cool the filling completely before wrapping, as the excess moisture and escaping steam can cause tears on the wrapper.
- Do not overfill the lumpia wrappers to prevent them from bursting while frying.
- Cover the spring roll wrappers with a damp cloth or paper towel to keep them from drying out while assembling.
