For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the ground pork with a bit of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger before cooking.
Make sure the filling is cool enough to handle before assembling the lumpia to prevent the wrappers from tearing.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Sweet chili sauce is a classic choice, but you can also try a tangy vinegar-based dip or a creamy peanut sauce.

    I've tried several lumpia recipes, and this one is by far the best. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the results are delicious.

    The tip about marinating the pork is a game-changer! It adds so much depth of flavor to the filling.

  • Ruth Mayer

    These lumpia are addictive! I made a big batch for a party, and they were gone in minutes. I'll definitely be making these again.
