Fried rice

Fried rice is a classic lumpia side dish. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time. Fried rice goes well with all types of lumpia, but is especially good with lumpia that has a lot of sauce or gravy.

The rice helps to absorb the flavors of the lumpia, and it also helps to fill you up. I like to add vegetables to my fried rice, like peas, carrots, and corn. These additions bulk up the rice and also make it a more nutritious meal.

For more deliciousness, you can also add protein, like chicken, shrimp, or tofu.

Atchara

Atchara is a Filipino pickled vegetable dish that is made with green papaya. It is sweet, sour, and salty all at the same time. Atchara is the perfect lumpia side because it provides a refreshing and crunchy contrast to the lumpia.

It is also very easy to make. All you need to do is mix grated green papaya with vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for at least an hour so that the flavors can meld together.

If you do not want to use sugar, you can substitute it with honey or agave syrup.

I recommend serving atchara cold, in fact, I think it tastes even better when it is cold.

If you are serving it cold, I would recommend mixing all of the ingredients and refrigerating it for at least an hour before serving. This will give the flavors a chance to meld together and will taste great
