Lumpia Mollica is a popular Filipino dish that is enjoyed as an appetizer or as a main dish. It is similar to a spring roll or egg roll, but with a unique and distinctive Filipino flavor. The filling is made with ground pork, onions, carrots, and celery, seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices and herbs. The mixture is wrapped in thin lumpia wrappers and deep-fried until crispy and golden. It is often served with a sweet and tangy dipping sauce that complements the flavors of the dish. Lumpia Mollica is a delicious and satisfying snack or meal that is perfect for sharing with friends and family.

Instructions

9.Roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, tucking in the ends as you go.
10.Repeat the process with the remaining filling and wrappers.
11.Fry the lumpia in the preheated oil until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.
