Lumpiang Sariwa, Lumpiang Ubod

Lumpiang Ubod, Fresh Lumpia, This one is a truly authentic Filipino dish. This Pinoy Fresh Vegatable Roll is one of my personal favourite. When ever I eat at Goldilocks or any Filipino restaurant if it is in the menu for sure I will always include it on my order. I am sure a lot of you have been trying to cook this.

It is not that hard, the only part that needs a bit of skill is cooking the egg wrapper. Well you could always use the lumpia wrappers that are sold at supermarkets. But of course fresh lumpia tastes best on thick egg wrapper.
