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.

Steps:

• FILLING
• In a wok or skillet, saute garlic and onion in oil over medium heat until limp. Add the ground pork and cook for 3 minutes stirring constantly to remove lumps. Next, add the tofu and cook for 3 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Add the prawns and cook until it turns pink all over.
• Add the sweet potato, carrots, and water. Let it cook for another 3 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are just cooked. Add the cabbage and fish sauce. Season with salt and pepper as needed and cook for a few minutes more just until the cabbage is done.
• Transfer to a colander to remove excess liquids if any. Let it cool down a bit. Meanwhile. prepare the wrappers and sauce.
• WRAPPER
• In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients for the wrapper. Add a quarter of the milk and whisk to make a paste. This is to prevent lumps from forming. Then add the rest of the ingredients while whisking continuously. Run the runny batter into a sieve to have a smoother batter and later smoother wrappers.
• Heat a non-stick crepe pan over low heat. Spray or brush the pan with a little amount of oil. Pour half a cup of batter into the pan and immediately tilt from side to side in a circular motion to cover the bottom with the batter. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the batter is no longer liquid and no longer sticks to the pan. Do not let it turn brown. You may need to flip it over but as long as the top has also dried out, then no need. Transfer wrapper to a plate and set aside.
• SAUCE
• Now to prepare the sauce. Just combine all the ingredients, except the cornstarch mixture in a saucepan and bring it to a soft boil over medium-low heat. Let it cook for 3 minutes. Add the cornstarch mixture and cook while whisking constantly until the sauce becomes thick,
• ASSEMBLY
• To assemble, place a wrapper on a plate or on a flat surface and place a lettuce leaf on top. Spoon some fillings across the middle half of the wrapper. Fold in the wrapper into the center starting from the bottom and then the sides cover filling.
• Pour some sauce on top of the wrapped Lumpia then sprinkle with chopped peanuts.

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.

LUMPIA (FILIPINO SPRING ROLLS)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine pork, garlic, onion, carrot, celery, soy sauce, egg, salt and pepper. Carefully separate the wrappers. To prevent them from drying out as you work, keep a barely damp paper towel over the unused wrappers.
• Lay one wrapper on clean surface. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling diagonally near one corner of the wrapper and gently push the filling into about 4-inch log, leaving a 1½ inch space at both ends. Fold the side nearest to you over the filling, then fold in both sides and roll neatly and tight. Moisten the other side of the wrapper with beaten egg white to seal the edge. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap to retain moisture. Repeat with remaining wrappers. At this point, lumpia can be frozen until ready to use.
• In a deep pan, add the oil to about 1-inch depth and heat to 350°F Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the wrappers by testing the edge of one. If it sizzles and bubbles, then the oil is ready. Carefully slide the lumpia, a few at a time, into the oil and fry until crispy and golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Do not overcrowd pan during frying. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Ensure that oil is back to 350 degrees before frying the next batch. Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce or other sauce of your choice. Enjoy!
