Four months ago, and on a whim, I decided to make lumpia. I hadn't eaten
it in twenty years and use an Americanized (my) idea of what I want as
filling. I went to the closest Asian market and asked for lumpia
wrappers. They had them frozen in a 21 ounce box with 25 each in two
separate packages.
They're called Simex Original Lumpia Wrappers (Springroll Wrapper). They
cost $2.89 and were made in the Philippines. Since I don't think of
Sparks, Nevada as a hotbed of Oriental influence, I suspect most Asian
markets might carry them. I forgot what a pain it was to separate each
round from the stack. But it was worth it.
