NOTE:

Lumpiang Sariwa, or fresh spring rolls, consist of minced ubod (heart of palm), flaked chicken, crushed peanuts, and turnips as an extender in a double wrapping of lettuce leaf and a yellowish egg crepe.

Lumpiang Sariwa, or Fresh Lumpia, are folded into a soft, crepe-like wrapper made with eggs. They contain a mixture of stir-fried ingredients, heavy on the veggies, Pork, and turnips, served with sauce and peanuts.

This variety is not fried, unlike the Lumpia Shanghai, and is usually around 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length; it is also the most popular among the Filipino variants.
