Lumpiang Hubad in the food context refers to a Filipino dish that translates to "naked spring rolls." This version of lumpia presents the traditional filling of a spring roll without the wrapping and frying, serving the mixture of vegetables and sometimes meat or seafood directly on a plate or as a salad. The dish usually consists of a variety of stir-fried vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, green beans, and bean sprouts, and it may include ingredients like tofu, shrimp, or ground pork. Lumpiang Hubad is often garnished with crushed peanuts and served with a sweet and savory garlic sauce, making it a lighter, healthier alternative to the traditional fried lumpia.

Lumpiang Ubod are served with a special Sauce made from cooking a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, a bit of sugar and salt thickened with Cornstarch.
Below is a not so clear picture of Lumpiang Ubod. I chanced upon a street vendor of Lumpiang Ubod during my brisk walk around Sampalok Lake in San Pablo City, Laguna while I was on vacation in my hometown. The freshly made egg rolls are soft, the Lettuce was fresh and crispy and it was made so special by its delicious Sauce. They were individually wrapped in plastic so it can be readily eaten while strolling around the lake.
