Ingredient notes
Use skinless, boneless chicken breast for lean protein that cooks quickly. Choose a mix of seasonal vegetables such as carrots, bell peppers, snap peas, and green beans to keep the dish vibrant and nutritious. The key to authentic lumpia flavor lies in the aromatics: garlic, onion, and traditional soy sauce combined with a touch of oyster sauce and a hint of black pepper. Optionally, fresh or dried chili can add a preferred level of heat.
