Lumpia (Shanghai version)

Description

A recipe I know all Filipinos are proud of! Lumpia (shanghai type) is a type of egg roll, except it’s mainly filled with meat. You could use pork or beef or both! It’s a yummy recipe and great to serve as finger food. I like to use both beef and pork but you can substitute one for the other. VERY EASY!
