Lumpiang Togue is our very own Pinoy version of spring rolls. It is composed of several ingredients and the main one, of course, would be mung bean sprouts or togue. These ingredients are carefully wrapped in lumpia wrapper and deep fried to crisp perfection. We’d normally have this as appetizer but more often as merienda. It is not exactly street food but we often see them being sold by street vendors and vendors selling snacks to our urban offices.
Now that we have your appetite up and running, we have more good news. This Lumpiang Togue is one of a kind as we added all possible delicious ingredients that will make your creation packed with so much goodness! So what are you waiting for, check these out and make one of your own:
