🌯 Lumpiang Ubod
Makes: about 12–15 pieces
Ingredients
For the filling:
500 g fresh ubod (heart of palm), julienned
250 g shrimp, peeled and chopped
150 g pork, finely chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp cooking oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
½ cup water or shrimp stock
½ tsp ground black pepper
Salt, to taste
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
2 tbsp chopped green onions
For wrapping:
12–15 lumpia wrappers
For serving:
Lettuce leaves
Lumpia sauce
👩🍳 Procedure
Sauté the aromatics: Heat oil and sauté garlic and onion until fragrant.
Cook the pork: Add chopped pork and cook until no longer pink.
Add shrimp: Stir in shrimp and cook until just done.
Add ubod: Add the julienned ubod and sauté for 2–3 minutes.
Season: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper, and sugar if using.
Simmer: Pour in water or shrimp stock. Cover and simmer for about 5–8 minutes, until the ubod is tender but not mushy.
Reduce: Cook uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in green onions.
Cool completely before wrapping. This is important so the wrappers won't become soggy.
Place a lettuce leaf and a portion of filling on a lumpia wrapper, then roll tightly.
Serve with sweet garlic lumpia sauce.

🥚 Lumpia Egg Wrapper Recipe
This recipe makes about 15–20 thin wrappers, perfect for Lumpiang Ubod or fresh lumpia.
Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1½ cups water
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for a more flexible wrapper)
Procedure
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and water together.
Add flour, salt, oil, and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
Let the batter rest for 15–20 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan over low to medium-low heat. Lightly grease it.
Pour a small amount of batter and quickly swirl the pan to create a very thin, even layer.
Cook for about 30–45 seconds, until the surface looks set and the edges start lifting.
Carefully peel the wrapper off. Do not brown it.
Stack the wrappers and cover with a clean damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
For Lumpiang Ubod: Make the wrappers slightly larger and very thin so they're easy to roll without tearing.
