LUMPIA (filipino egg rolls)

A pretty popular dish that almost everyone knows about. In my family, we always have lumpia at every holiday or event. You can make this same recipe with ground beef or pork and they will all be just as delicious! Double or Triple this recipe and have your family help you roll. You can fry some now and freeze the rest.
