Spring Roll Showdown: What Sets Chinese and Filipino Versions Apart?

[duday]

Foodie friends! I’m about to talk about spring rolls. So, I’m here for the tasty subject, and another question pops up – what’s that difference between Chinese and Filipino spring rolls? Is it the inside? The outside? Or maybe some special technological methods? Do you have the answer?

I've noticed that Chinese spring rolls are typically wrapped in a thicker, doughier wrapper, while Filipino lumpia use a thinner wrapper that crisps up beautifully when fried! The texture is definitely distinct between the two.

Presentation also plays a part in distinguishing these spring roll styles. While Chinese spring rolls are typically longer and thinner, Filipino versions may be shorter and more robust, reflecting their unique flavor profiles and regional variations

Chinese spring rolls are typically thinner and crispier, while Filipino spring rolls (Lumpia) are often larger and filled with heartier ingredients. Both delicious in their own way!
