Lumpiang Sariwa Recipe

Lumpiang sariwa is a break from all the carb-laden glutinous food and deep fried meat that Filipinos are very fond of. It is called ‘sariwa’ or fresh because you will not fry the whole spring rolls. Its peanut sauce and lumpia wrappers are the elements which will make it special.
