What is Lumpiang Sariwa?
Lumpiang sariwa is a type of spring roll that is popular in the Philippines. Meat like chicken or pork and fresh vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans are first sautéed in onion and garlic and cooked in broth then rolled inside a wrapper made of egg and flour. A sweet and savory sauce complements the lumpia with few pinches of crushed peanuts and fresh lettuce.
