Lumpiang Sariwa Recipe

During this time, we need to eat healthy meals to boost our immunity to fight COVID-19. But are you running out of meals to serve this Enhanced Community Quarantine period?

Here is a simple but nutritious food. Lumpiang Sariwa.

Lumpiang Sariwa is commonly cooked using jullienned ubod or toge (mungbean sporuts) mixed with vegetables and meat or shrimp wrapped in a thin egg crepe.

This tasty and full of texture dish served with sweet and garlicy sauce topped with ground roasted peanuts.

Since there is a quarantine, buying ubod is quite difficult but if you really crave for Lumpiang Sariwa, you can do it without the ubod.

Cooking is just easy. Just saute the vegetables.

You can ask your kids to help you with it, especially in the wrapping step. They would love that.

By the way, when I was a kid, I was amazed how the wrapper was made. Thank God for online recipes now, you can make lumpia wrapper as easy as 1,2,3! 

Just mix a cup cornstarch, a cup water, an egg and a tablespoon of cooking oil.  It would also be helpful if you have a flat non-stick pan like Tefal Frypan, but choose the smaller one.

You can make Lumpia sauce too.

Wrap the sauteed vegetables, add lettuce for the presentation.

Then pour over the sauce. Looks yummy!

Oh before I forgot, we have a Youtube Channel under Home Cooked Meals PH. Here's the video of how to make Lumpiang Sariwa.

Here's the full recipe.
