Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add pork strips to the pan and cook until lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3 minutes.

In a small saucepan, combine 0.5 cup peanut butter, soy sauce, and brown sugar.

In a separate bowl, make a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 cup water and gradually adding it to the peanut sauce.

Step 9

Cook the sauce over low heat, stirring continuously until thickened, then remove from heat.

To assemble the lumpia, lay one lumpia wrapper on a flat surface, place half a leaf of lettuce in the center, and top it with about 1/4 cup of the vegetable and meat filling.

Step 11

Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling and roll it up tightly.

Repeat the process for the remaining wrappers and filling.
