How to Make Mung Bean Sprouts Roll (Togue Roll) – Crispy Filipino Snack You’ll Love!
If you’ve ever strolled through a local market or caught a whiff of something sizzling at a Filipino food stall, chances are you’ve encountered togue roll — the ultimate crispy snack that’s budget-friendly, addicting, and totally satisfying.
I’m from Muntinlupa, and let me tell you… this is one of our underrated street food faves. So I figured, why not share how you can make it at home?
What You’ll Need:
2 cups mung bean sprouts (togue)
1 small carrot, julienned
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
Spring roll wrappers (lumpia wrapper)
1 tbsp soy sauce
Salt & pepper to taste
Cooking oil (for sautéing and frying)
Optional: minced tofu or ground pork for extra flavor
How to Make It:
Sauté the Filling
Heat a bit of oil in a pan. Sauté garlic and onions until fragrant. Toss in the carrots and cook for about a minute. Add the mung bean sprouts, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Let it cool.
Wrap it Up
Take your lumpia wrapper and spoon some of the veggie mix onto one end. Fold the sides, roll tightly, and seal the edge with a dab of water. Repeat until you’ve used up all the filling.
Fry to Crispy Perfection
Heat oil in a pan (medium-high). Deep fry or pan-fry the rolls until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve and Snack Away!
Serve hot with a side of spicy vinegar dip, banana ketchup, or sweet chili sauce — your call!
Why You’ll Love It:
Super cheap to make
Crispy outside, juicy inside
Perfect for merienda or even as a ulam with rice
