Gluten-Free Lumpiang Sariwa (Fresh Spring Rolls) - Celiac.com
Lumpiang Sariwa, or "fresh spring rolls," traces its origins to Chinese influence on Filipino cuisine during centuries of trade. Unlike its fried counterpart, this delicate version celebrates fresh, crisp vegetables wrapped in soft crepes, traditionally made with wheat flour. Our gluten-free adaptation uses rice paper wrappers - a nod to pre-colonial Filipino cooking methods that relied on rice as the staple grain. The result honors the dish's heritage while making it accessible to gluten-sensitive eaters.
