Lumpiang Gulay For Makku

I discovered a way to trick Makku my teenage nephew to eat vegetables. Prepare him Lumpiang Gulay with tasty sauce and he can finish 20 pieces in one sitting. I made this Lumpiang Gulay yesterday as treat for him this summer. : ) The children, my four wards finished dinner in no time with lumpiang gulay. Try it too at home.
