Fresh Filipino Spring Rolls Lumpia Sariwa Recipes

LUMPIANG SARIWA (FRESH SPRING ROLLS)

Steps:

• To prepare wrappers: Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center and crack eggs into it. Using a whisk, gradually incorporate the flour into the egg. Gradually whisk in water. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Whisk oil into the batter. Use a piece of oil-soaked paper towel to oil a 9-inch crêpe pan or medium nonstick skillet. Place over medium heat. Using about 1/3 cup batter for each wrapper, ladle batter into the middle of the pan. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter to the edges. Cook until set, about 30 seconds. Loosen the edges with a spatula and carefully flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• To prepare filling: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and chopped garlic and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add tofu, hearts of palm and carrot; cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add broth, fish sauce (or coconut aminos), granulated sugar, pepper and salt. Place cabbage on top. Cover and cook until the cabbage is tender and the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare sauce: Combine broth, brown sugar, soy sauce and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Whisk in cornstarch mixture and cook, whisking, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool.
• To serve: Top each wrapper with a lettuce leaf and 1/2 cup filling. Roll the wrapper around the filling, tucking in the edges as you roll. Serve with the sauce and fried garlic and peanuts, if desired.

FRESH FILIPINO SPRING ROLLS (LUMPIA SARIWA)

Steps:

• 1. Put the oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium. A minute later, add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 15 to 30 seconds. Add the pork and cook, breaking up any lumps and stirring occasionally, until the meat loses its pinkness, about 3 minutes. Add the vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, and wine and remove from the heat.
• 2. Lay a lumpia wrapper flat on a work surface and place a piece of the lettuce on top. Line 2 heaping tablespoons of stir-fry mixture on top of the lettuce. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the seam. If necessary, with a few drops of water spread with a brush or your fingertip. Serve with either or both of the sauces.
