[...] choose to make your own, I suggest my favorite pineapple salsa. For guacamole, I suggest either this recipe, or the Lazy Girl’s Guac: cut an avocado in half, scoop out the inside with a salted tortilla [...]

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!

This is an awesome marinade and the only thing I do different, is to add Korean Chili flake/Crushed red pepper to the marinade. This can be used with any kind of meat. This is a Korean Staple marinade. Awesome. elmo

OMG, I have been trying different rib recipes for a while now. This is by far the best I have tried. Highly recommended, my entire family loved these ribs on Eastern Sunday. I used Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce found at Costco along with the ribs.

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.
