The Best Lumpiang Sariwa Recipe

The Best Lumpiang Sariwa Recipe:

Lumpia means "spring rolls" and sariwa means "fresh". Lumpiang Sariwa is made up of stripped fresh vegetables with sweet and tasty sauce with crushed peanuts. As described, obviously, it is really healthy and yummy!

My grandmother is a fan of this dish. I don't know exactly why older women here in the Philippines love this dish. Maybe because everything is soft especially the wrapper. Everything is very easy to eat and like what I've said, this dish is very healthy knowing that it is filled with veggies.
