1 lb ground pork, browned and fat drained
1/2 lb shrimp, shelled (save the shells!)
3 firm tofu,fried and cut into cubes
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lb turnips, cut into strips
1 lb potatoes, cut into cubes
2 lb pole beans, cleaned and cut crosswise
1 bunch lettuce (not iceberg)
2 T soy sauce
4 T vegetable oil
salt and pepper
2 T fish sauce (patis),optional
2 T accent salt, optional
lumpia wrappers
1. For the stock, boil the shrimp shells in 1 1/2 cups water.
2. Saute the garlic, onions, ground pork, shrimp, and tofu. Add the potatoes and 1/2 cup stock. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the beans and cook for another 5 - 10 minutes.
3. Then add turnips, soy sauce, vegetable oil, salt and pepper (to taste), and fish sauce. Continue to stir and cook for 5 more minutes. Drain and save the broth for the dipping sauce. Allow the mixture to cool.
4. Separate the lumpia wrappers carefully. Line one end of the wrapper with a small piece of lettuce so that the lettuce pokes out a little bit - this is the top of the roll. Use 2 tbsp. of the mixture for filling (this will be a fatter roll than for fried lumpia) on top of the lettuce and roll the wrapper. Close the bottom end of the roll by folding it and securing it with a little water. Wrap each roll with wax paper. Makes 2 dozen, depending on size of roll. Spread garlic sauce liberally over lumpia.
