Emerald Fried Lumpia

If you are looking for a vegetarian fried lumpia, then I think this recipe is for you. Actually most of the fried lumpia composed mostly of vegetables with some ground pork, chicken or shrimp. You can also make them with without adding any meat but it won’t taste as good as with having some meat in the ingredients. In this recipe the meat is replaced by vegemeat or if it is hard to find, tofu is the next ideal substitute. This lumpia also have kangkong leaves layered with the lumpia wrapper so that the lumpia will appear greenish on the outside that is why it is called emerald fried lumpia.
