Loempias can come in many different flavors and variations. Some are filled with beef, pork, or tofu. Some are wrapped in a different kind of flour wrapper, like rice. Indonesian Loempias are often deep-fried, but this recipe bakes them in the oven for a healthier twist. They are a great snack to serve at parties, or to enjoy as a light lunch or dinner. The filling is easy to make and can be prepped ahead of time for a quick and easy snack when a craving strikes.
