Lumpia wrappers are thinner than standard Chinese spring roll wrappers, and are best found through a Filipino grocer or the frozen section of a larger Asian supermarket.
Which aisle are lumpia wrappers in?
Lumpia wrappers are usually in the freezer aisle, alongside other frozen wrappers and dumpling skins, in a Filipino or Asian grocer.
Where to look, supermarket by supermarket
- Freezer aisle, Filipino or Asian grocers. Sold frozen, near dumpling and spring roll wrappers.
- Mainstream supermarkets stock general spring roll wrappers instead, which work as a substitute.
Aisle numbers move between branches, so use the section as your guide.
Are lumpia wrappers sold in Tesco?
Not under that name. Tesco stocks general frozen spring roll wrappers, which work as a reasonable substitute for lumpia.
What to ask a member of staff
Ask for lumpia wrappers specifically if you want the thinner, authentic version, otherwise spring roll wrappers are the closest match.
Asian supermarkets
A Filipino grocer is the most reliable source for genuine lumpia wrappers, kept frozen.
Buying it online
Online is a good option if there is no Filipino grocer nearby, though frozen items are harder to ship than pantry staples.
Storing it
Keep frozen until ready to use, and thaw in the fridge before separating the sheets to avoid tearing.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use regular spring roll wrappers for lumpia?
Yes, they work well as a substitute, though lumpia wrappers are traditionally a little thinner.
How do I stop the wrappers tearing when separating them?
Thaw fully in the fridge first, and peel them apart gently one at a time rather than all at once.
