How to make Lumpiang Sariwa
Prepare the Filling
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant.
Add the pork, shrimp, or chicken (if using), and cook until done.
Add the cabbage, carrots, green beans, and bean sprouts. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Season with soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Set aside and let cool.
Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, and water. Stir until the peanut butter is well incorporated.
Bring to a simmer and add the cornstarch mixture. Stir until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.
Assemble the Lumpia
Lay out a lumpia wrapper on a flat surface. Place a few lettuce leaves in the center, followed by a portion of the filling.
Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Serve
Arrange the lumpiang sariwa on a serving platter. Drizzle with the garlic-peanut sauce and garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh herbs if desired.
Tips & Tricks
You can substitute the lumpia wrappers with regular spring roll wrappers if fresh ones are unavailable.
For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and add more vegetables.
