Excellent! This is the true lumpia minus the optional bean sprouts. I used to indulge in these weekly in Charleston, SC and this recipe brought me back. I have made different types of lumpia over the last 20 years, but this is how I remember the authentic lumpia. My husband had never eaten lumpia and loved it. I did add a few spices and a little extra soy. Perfect! Thanks for the recipe!

LOVE this recipe! Adding vegetables to the lumpia is very important (instead of making the all-meat kind you see at most Filipino restaurants. The type of wrapper you use can also make or break this dish. Be sure to use the Simex brand: It's light, strong and fries up nice and crisp.

Yummy!! This was really easy to make. I left out the bean sprout, and used half a can each of carrots and green beans. Super simple way to make a special dish everyone loves. Next time I might try shredded pork instead of ground pork.

I made this recipe a few years ago for my family party that is full of Filipinos. I never made lumpia before, but I was really hoping this recipe would impress my relatives. Overall, the lumpias came out DELICIOUS! Everyone told me that they were the best lumpias they'd ever had! I did have to squeeze out all the extra water from the salt hitting the cabbage; I did that like 5 times until the mixture was completely dry. I think it really helped the filling.

Great. I added more soy sauce and fried in Shortening for extra crispiness and less oil. I did not add bean sprouts, there is only so much room in a wrapper before they tear.

I got this recipe from a Lumpia restaurant: use equal parts of sugar, vinegar, and banana ketchup. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Maybe use 1/4 or 1/2 of each to start with, depending how much sauce you need. Banana Ketchup is found at Asian Markets. After asking the owner about the recipe, she wouldn't share. One day she wasn't there and the couple working gave it to me!!!!! : : :

The vinegar sauce is the best -- it always goes first. Lumpia is always goes fast at a party. And, when you're in a rush, use a package of cole slaw mix with the sausage. Fast and easy.
