MANILA, Philippines — Abi Marquez is among the food content creators who has a huge following on social media, and it is because of her vivaciousness and easy-to-follow recipes. 

Known as the "Lumpia Queen" online, Abi took the time off social media to do a cooking demonstration with a recipe that goes well with this month's National Nutrition Month celebrations held every July. 

Monggo and nuggets are undeniably Filipino ulam staples, and Abi managed to merge the two to come up with her own take on the latter, but with a more nutritious twist. 

"With Knorr, we create these recipes to let people know how they can spice up their everydays with creative recipes, nutritious recipes, and how they can use these household products that they have in their shelves into something innovative," she said. 

Abi is the brand's ambassador.
