How to cook Lumpiang Togue
Cooking a delectable dish doesn't always have to be complicated; sometimes, it only requires a little time to make. Like in this dish that we are going to prepare, it is the Lumpiang Togue Recipe – such an easy-to-make meal with just a simple procedure to follow. This Lumpia version's main ingredient is mung bean sprouts, which is known here in the Philippines as "Togue," wrapped in a spring roll along with other veggies such as carrots and cabbage.
The combination of vegetables here can be varied as well according to your taste. Lumpiang Togue is a popular appetizer or a side dish that is best with a dipping sauce of spicy vinegar seasoned with onions and whole peppercorn or locally known as "paminta."
In Filipino cuisine, there are other versions in cooking Lumpia recipes, such as Lumpiang Shanghai, Lumpiang Sariwa, Lumpiang Bangus, Chicken Lumpia, Lumpiang Pritong Tokwa, Lumpiang Ubod, and Lumpiang Gulay.
Lumpiang Gulay is often compared to Lumpiang Togue Recipe since the main ingredient is vegetable, though, in Lumpiang Gulay, there are no mung bean sprouts included.
To make Lumpiang Togue with Cheese entirely vegetarian, substitute the meat with mushrooms. You can also replace Togue with shredded cabbage.

i like lumpiang togue better than any all-meat spring roll. mixing in some veggies with meat, makes me feel less unhealthy 🙂
