It's a great veggie option and side dish.Â
This lumpiang togue recipe however uses a secret ingredient to add a punch of umami: dried alamang or small shrimps. It adds a burst of umami flavor without the filling becoming too salty or overpowering that bagoong might add if that was used instead. You can try it with or without the alamang. Just remember to serve it with the spiced vinegar on the side!Â
