Instructions
1. Boil the Ubod (Set A)
In a pot of boiling water seasoned with salt, cook the ubod until tender. Drain and let cool. Once cooled, julienne the ubod, cutting against the grain.
2. Prepare the Wrapper Batter (Set B)
In a bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and add oil, water, and milk. Combine with the flour mixture and strain to remove lumps. Let the batter rest.
Cook the Wrappers
Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a small amount of batter and swirl to coat the pan. Cook until the wrapper is set. Do not flip. Repeat with remaining batter.
3. Cook the Filling (Set C)
Heat oil in a pan. Sauté onion and pork until browned. Add carrots and boiled ubod. Stir in slurry and season with Maggi Magic Sarap and salt. Cook until vegetables are tender. Add shrimp finish with patties and black pepper to taste. Mix well. Set aside in a colander to drain excess liquid.
4. Make the Sauce (Set D)
In a pot, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved. Add peanut butter, soy sauce, oyster sauce, milk or water, and minced garlic. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
5. Assemble the Lumpia
Place a wrapper on a plate, lay a lettuce leaf in the center, and spoon in the filling. Fold and roll neatly. Pour sauce on top and garnish with crushed peanuts and minced garlic. The addition of cilantro (wansuy) as garnish will give this recipe added flavor.
