Lumpiang Sariwa

Lumpia means "spring rolls" and sariwa means "fresh". This dish is made up of stripped fresh vegetables accompanied by sweet and tasty sauce with crushed peanuts. As described, obviously, it is really healthy and yummy!

My grandma is such a fan of this dish. And actually, almost each and every older woman I know here in the Philippines loves this food. I don't know exactly why, maybe because everything is soft especially the wrapper, everything is very easy to eat and like what I've said, this one's so healthy knowing that it is filled with veggies.
