I MADE THEM!!! And they are awesome. My daughter and I made them together so while she was rolling I fried them up. Not hard at all with 2 people doing it. I made them w cabbage as I didn’t have jicama but I will next time for sure or add more than just 3/4 cup of cabbage. Also, the soy sauce leeches out of them when deep frying and it makes them look kinda “dirty”. Don’t know what the answer is except to not put it in? Anyway, this recipe is pretty easy to make and YUMMY!

Hi Judi! SO happy you loved them! I’m super flattered at what you called them “Gorgeous, Scrumptious Things!” :) Thank you for the wonderful comment. So to answer your question, YES they freeze well. They fry frozen too. Don’t try to defrost them at all. I never do! So when you freeze them, place them in a foil tray and be sure to use plastic wrap between layers so they don’t stick to each other. Cover with plastic wrap and then cover it with foil. They should be good perfect for Easter if you make them ahead of time. If you have any more questions, please let me know! ENJOY!

Hi Isabel and a fine good afternoon to you from the sunny Okanagan Valley of beautiful BC. Hope March is being good to you. I’m ba-ack!! I made your Pretty, Tasty Things called lumpia a few months back, and in fact must say they are actually Gorgeous, Scrumptious Things! And now to get in the groove of just making homemade lumpia one of our ‘things’! On that note, I know they freeze well, but I cannot remember for the life of me if it’s best to fry them frozen, or to let them thaw and then fry. Please let me know……so I can delight my family with yumminess from our Filipino heritage this Easter.

Hi Regine! You’re certainly right, this lumpia is definitely made meat-based. Quite honestly, just use less meat and add bean sprouts and more veggies. I think that’s what my parents did. I love vinegar, soy sauce and bawang too! Hope you enjoy the recipe and good luck with the bean sprouts. I’m sure it’ll be delish!

Hi Isabel – do you have a recipe for a beans sprouts-based lumpia?
This one seems to be more like meat
Thanks – I will try this tonight though although
I grew up with togue-based lumpia and I love them
We dipped it in vinegar and soy sauce with bawang :-)

So great!! Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I’m glad they turned out well even with egg roll wrappers and I’m glad you learned how to roll them with the video. I made some this past weekend too and froze several as well. I think I want to make more though :) Glad you enjoyed them!!
