Lumpiang Sariwa is fresh vegetables wrapped in a Lumpia wrapper with a thick sauce and toppings. Vegetables are optional in this recipe. The thickness of the sauce can vary, as well. Some provinces use turnips (singkamas) and green beans or sitaw. We don’t use these vegetables in this recipe because we had difficulties finding them. If you are a vegetarian , you can cook this dish without meat. Shrimp and tofu will serve as the substitute for meat. This dish can also be eaten without the wrapper. It is perfect for lunch and dinner with hot rice. This is excellent served at fiestas, birthdays and parties.
