lumpia x 2 (lumpiang gulay recipe)
This morning, i cooked 2 kinds of lumpia for my daughter, Inna's party in school - lumpiang shanghai and lumpiang gulay. For some reason, she takes pride in sharing those home-cooked food with her friends and classmates.. This is not the first time she brought some for them. Each time she does, it's a "sold-out". Here is my super simple recipe for lumpiang gulay (i have posted my lumpiang shanghai recipe earlier)
Lumpiang gulay:
2 cubes tofu (use the firm kind)
2 lbs bean sprouts
1 large sweet potato (kamote) cut in strips
2 cups carrots- cut in strips
1/2 cup minced cilantro/kintsay (optional)
1 tbs salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp minced or crushed garlic
1 big onion, thinly sliced
spring onions - chopped
lumpia wrapper
saute the following in order:
onion, garlic, carrots , sweet potatoes, tofu
when carrots and sweet potatoes are half cooked, add the bean sprouts and spring onion, salt, black pepper, cilantro.
mix for 1 minute or less then turn off the stove. you dont want to overcook the bean sprouts
wrap in lumpia wrapper (as in picture)
deep fry until the lumpia is golden brown, strain excess oil.
serve with sweet and sour sauce or spiced vinegar.
Enjoy! :)
