Procedures

Filling

Saute garlic and onions over a medium heat pan. Add the pork and cook for 5 minutes. Put in the fish sauce, ground black pepper, pork bouillon cube and add 1/2 cup water then simmer until pork is tender. Add the shrimps and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add the string beans, sweet potato, potato, carrots and turnip and wait until the vegetables are tender. Add the crushed tofu and cook for a few minutes. Put in the cilantro and cabbage and let cook for 5 minutes. Add the powdered peanuts and mix well. Set aside.

Wrapper

Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl then gradually pour the milk. Add the all purpose flour, cooking oil and salt and mix well. On a non-stick pan, pour half a cup of the mixture over a low heat. Tilt the pan to cover the whole area. Cook about 2 minutes. You may want to cook the other side for a minute or less but this will require a very careful flipping.

Sauce

Mix the corn flour and water in a sauce pan. Add the soy sauce, powdered peanuts and brown sugar. Cook the mixture over a medium heat with constant stirring. Wait until the sauce becomes thick. Set aside and let cool then add the chopped garlic.

Setting up the Fresh Lumpia

Place the lettuce at the middle top part of the lumpia wrapper, 1/3 of the lettuce leaf outside the wrapper. Place 2-3 spoonfuls of the filling in the middle part of the wrapper over the lettuce leaf. Seal the wrapper by folding the lower part first then roll the sides. Pour the sauce over the fresh lumpia and top with powdered peanuts. Enjoy eating!
