Cooking Lumpiang Hubad (Togue Recipe)

When one speaks of lumpia, I instantly picture pieces of spring rolls stacked in a plate. There is however, a recipe for spring rolls that is done without actually wrapping the lumpia filling in rolls. This is what is called lumpiang hubad (naked spring roll).

In the Philippines, some use turnips and young bamboo shoots in cooking lumpiang hubad. As for this particular recipe for spring rolls however, I'll be using togue or mung bean sprouts. Once more, I'd like to thank my dad first (Thanks, Pa!!) for inspiring me to do this dish. While the hubby and I were on vacation in the PI, he craved for some of this lumpiang hubad; which is how I got re-acquainted with this tasty lumpiang hubad recipe.

Here's how to do a simple lumpiang hubad dish.
