Keeping this in view, how do you soften refrigerated lumpia wrappers?

Should I thaw frozen lumpia before frying?
Make sure each lumpia is 1-inch apart. Remove the batch after about 15 minutes, or when the wrapper appears golden brown. Note: Don’t let the lumpia thaw before cooking because this will make them soggy and hard to chew. Try to cook them immediately to avoid this situation.
How do you make lumpia crunchy?
I discovered another great way of ensuring that my lumpia are crispy. Fry them twice. I find that putting freshly made egg rolls into the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes helps them dry a little, which makes them beautifully crunchy when fried. When you first fry them, do so on medium-low heat.
What oil do you use to fry lumpia?
