Lumpia, also known as popiah or spring roll, is a Filipino food that has many variations such as lumpiang shanghai, lumpiang sariwa (fresh lumpia) and lumpiang togue (bean sprouts).

At first, I thought, making lumpia is not difficult. However, when I tried preparing it, I said to myself that that might be the last that I would be preparing lumpia.

Cooking lumpia is laborious. But not only that, I find wrapping lumpia difficult. It needs certain skill that I still need to learn.

Here are the ingredients needed when preparing lumpia:

• togue
• lumpia wrapper
• minced pork
• carrots
• sayote
• sweet potato
• potato
• cabbage
• garlic
• onion
• oyster sauce
• fish sauce or chicken cubes
• cooking oil

Here are the steps needed when preparing lumpia:

• Peel and slice all the ingredients. Take note that the ingredients should be cut like sticks.
• Heat the cooking oil in a pan.
• Saute garlic.
• When the garlic turns golden brown, add onion.
• After that, add the minced pork.
• Add sweet potato.
• Add carrots.
• Add potato.
• Add sayote.
• Add togue and cabbage.
• To add taste, put oyster sauce and fish sauce or chicken cubes.
• Let it cool down.
• Once it is no longer hot, use the spoon to put the mixed ingredients in the lumpia wrapper and wrap it.
• Start frying.
• Serve hot.

Enjoy your food!
