This was our brunch yesterday.
Crispy Liempo.
The liempo was thinly sliced and fried to crispy perfection.Sinful yes but who cant resist this crunchy piece of meat. So for dinner, I wanted to make something healthy to eat. Therefore, I decided to make this.
Fresh Lumpia
For the filling;
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half, thinly sliced
1/2 small carrot, finely julienned
2 cups sliced cabbage
2 green onions, finely julienned
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
ground pepper to taste
It easy to do the lumpia filling. Just saute onion and garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the chicken, stir-fry. Remove from pan. Heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add carrots, then cabbage.Cook until vegetables are tender crisp, about 2 minutes. Return chicken mixture to pan; oyster sauce, fish sauce, and pepper; cook for 1 minute.
Cool filling mixture and spoon a tablespoon in lumpia wrapper. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers. For the wrapper, I usually use the wrapper bought at the supermarket but this time I like making the crepe type wrapper. I got the recipe here. :)
For the lumpia sauce, this is the recipe I usually use;
1/4 c. brown sugar
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 c. soy sauce
2 tsp. ground garlic
1 1/4 water
Combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Stir in soy sauce and garlic. Add broth and mix well. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens. Serve over Fresh Lumpia. I considered making fresh lumpia as a labor of love (matrabaho kasi) but if husband wanted it, i shall make it. Thats love...mushy now. hahahaha!!!
Enjoy the week everyone!
