    Can I substitute ground pork with ground chicken or beef?

    Yes, you can substitute ground pork with ground chicken or beef to make lumpia. If you're using beef, consider using a leaner cut to reduce the fat content of the filling.

    How to cook frozen lumpia?

    To cook, simply remove lumpia from a freezer. Pour oil into the pan, deep enough to submerge the lumpia in for cooking. Deep fry in a hot oil for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Once, cooked drain in paper towel.
