fresh lumpia

I made my very first fresh lumpia today. Maybe i will take a picture of it later when i prepare some for hubby when he arrives late in the afternoon.

So here is how i did it.

For the filling:

1/2 cup minced pork
2 large carrots, sliced thinly
1 medium cabbage, sliced thinly
1 stalk of celery
4 stalks of green onion leaves
2 minced garlic
1 large chopped onion
a dash of salt

I sauteed the garlic, onion, and minced pork adding very little salt. When it turns golden and slightly toasted, i added the carrots. When nearly done, i mixed in the cabbage, celery and onion leaves. We like our vegetables crunchy so i am careful not to overcook them. Just warm them a little. Set aside in a bowl when done.

You can also use monggo sprout, baguio beans, bamboo shoots, and tofu for the filling. I only used the leftover vegetables in our fridge.

For the sauce

3 tablespoon flour
1 cup water
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tbsp groun pepper
3 tbsp sugar
1 minced garlic
1 small onion

Dissolve the flour in the cold water. add soy sauce and sugar and continue to dissolve. Then sautee garlic and onion in a saucepan. Pour the mixture over a saucepan. Keep on mixing then add oyster sauce and pepper. Add sugar depending on your tase.

You then proceed to wrapping your vegetables. Pour over a generous amount of sauce, sprinkle it with roasted peanuts and garlic.
