INSTRUCTIONS
Lumpia is a traditional Filipino appetizer, not unlike eggrolls. Recipe from Chef Andy Pforzheimer <[email protected]>: Saute garlic in oil until light brown. Add chicken and onion. Season with fish sauce. Remove from pan. Repeat the process with the shrimp, but stir-frying quickly and remove from pan immediately. Return the chicken-onion mixture to the pan, add in sequences, green bean, garbanzos, carrot, rutabagas, yam, cabbage, bean curd. Add a little stock and allow to simmer until the desired tenderness. Season with salt, fish sauce to your taste. Add the Chinese parsley last, just before removing from the pan. To assemble the lumpia, you will need: Lumpia wrapper - commercially available Romaine or green or red or butter lettuce Lumpia Sauce: Bring the water to a boil. Add the sugar to the boiling water and stir until dissolved. Remove 1/4 cup of the syrup, add the cornstarch, blend into a slurry and return to the pot. Remove from heat when thickened. Mix in garlic. NOTE: lumpia; lumpia wrapper [LOOM-pee-ah] This Philippine version of the EGG ROLL consists of a lumpia wrapper (a thin "skin" made of flour or cornstarch, eggs and water) wrapped around a filling and fried. Sometimes a lettuce leaf is used to enfold the filling mixture, in which case lumpia is not fried. The filling can be made of chopped raw or cooked vegetables, meat or a combination of the two. Lumpia can be served as an appetizer or side dish. Posted to KitMailbox Digest by J Pellegrino <[email protected]> on Sep 13, 1998, converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
