Chef Larry's Notes
Lumpia wrappers are available in Filipino and Asian Markets. If not available eggroll wrappers may be substituted, however they do not cook up as crisp as lumpia wrappers. Lumpia filling can also be made with chicken, beef or vegetables. Lumpia can be made ahead and stored in the freezer.
