To prepare these lumpia, you can fry them in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Ensure the oil is at the right temperature to achieve a good crunch without the wrapper becoming greasy. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven until heated through and the wrapper is crisp. Baking offers a less oily option. They are best served immediately after cooking to enjoy their texture.
