Vegetarian Spring Rolls | Lumpiang Togue

Lumpiang Togue

Spring Roll or Lumpia is one of the Chinese influences that the Filipinos adapted in their cuisine. As simple as it looks, this dish is easy to make and there’s a wide variety of making it. One of the most common you can see in the carinderias in Manila is Lumpiang Togue.

Lumpiang Togue is a vegetarian take on lumpia that uses mung bean sprouts or togue as the star ingredient. It’s a favorite ulam paired with rice or it can be enjoyed on its own. It’s more delightful to dip it in vinegar before eating it.  In this recipe, Chris Urbano used Indonesian tempeh, a soy product which is similar to tofu. A little bit of Indonesian twist in a Pinoy-Chinese dish.
