Lumpia is a popular Philippine snack that's often served at parties and gatherings. It's similar to Chinese spring rolls, but with a unique twist that's distinctly Filipino. Lumpia can be filled with a variety of ingredients, depending on personal preference and regional variations. Some of the most common fillings include ground meat, shrimp, and vegetables.

Served with a tangy sweet and sour sauce, Lumpia is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and water until a batter is formed.
2.In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground pork or beef, shrimp, garlic, onion, and ginger until the meat is browned.
