Recipe Notes
- As I mentioned above, you can make this vegetarian or vegan. You can use tofu or mushroom as opposed to the meat or you can just use different kinds of vegetables of your choice such as cabbage, green beans, carrots, celery, and munch bean sprouts.
- You can bake or air-fry this lumpia if you do not want to deep fry them. The rule of thumb is to cook them until golden brown and crispy.
