Mix all wrapper ingredients together until smooth, strain, heat a non-stick pan, take about one tablespoon of batter to make thin pancakes, repeat until all batter is used (makes about 8 wrappers).
Beat the eggs with a little salt, add the filling and green onions, take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture, place it in a wrapper, fold like an envelope, fry until golden brown, remove and serve with cucumber and carrot pickles.

Typically, store-bought lumpia wrappers are used for convenience, but making your own provides a crispier texture with abundant filling.
