To prepare, heat oil in a deep pan or wok to around 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the frozen lumpia into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the lumpia from the oil and drain them on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess grease. Serve immediately while hot.
