INSTRUCTIONS
FILLING
LUMPIA SAUCE
Lumpia is a traditional Filipino appetizer, not unlike eggrolls. Recipe
from Chef Andy Pforzheimer <apforz@pfood.win.net>:
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.
