This Fish Lumpiang Shanghai makes 15-18 pieces. This recipe serves 3 to 6 people or average of 4. For more serving, just adjust the recipe quantity. The taste is delicious! My five-year-old daughter who is a picky eater loves it. You can use banana or tomato ketsup or simply vinegar as the sauce for this healthy ulam. Murang ketsup pero masarap try the UFC ketchup.
