Lumpia, it's a Filipino cuisine. Lumpiang Prito literally means fried spring roll. It consists of a briskly fried pancake filled with bean sprouts and various other vegetables such as string beans and carrots. Small morsels of meat or seafood may also be added. Though it is the least expensive of the variants, the preparation--the cutting of vegetables and meats into appropriately small pieces and subsequent pre-cooking--may prove taxing and labor-intensive. This variant may come in sizes as little as that of Lumpiang Shanghai or as big as that of Lumpiang Sariwa. It is usually eaten with vinegar and chili peppers, or a soy sauce-and-calamansi juice mixture known as toyo-mansi.
This only reminded me of old parties that i used to go to back in the Philippines, you should try it. It's really good especially with noodles or we call it pancit.
