Lumpia

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

Lumpia are various types of spring rolls commonly found in Indonesian and Filipino cuisines, made of a thin, paper-like or crepe-like pastry skin called a lumpia wrapper enveloping savory or sweet fillings. They are often served as an appetizer or snack, either deep-fried or fresh and unfried, and are Indonesian and Filipino adaptations of the Fujianese lun-piah and Teochew popiah, usually consumed during the Qingming Festival.
