Ingredients

• 6 large Lumpia wrappers
• 2 cups Cabbage
• 1 Carrots
• 1 cup Green beans
• 1 Sweet potato
• 1/2 lb Tofu
• 6 leaves Lettuce
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar
• 1/4 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1/3 cup Peanuts

Steps

1. Simmer the sweet potato, carrots, and beans 8 minutes, until just tender; add the cabbage for the last 2 minutes. Drain well — wet filling tears wrappers.
2. Sauté the cubed tofu until golden, 6 minutes; combine with the vegetables.
3. Simmer the sugar, soy sauce, 1.5 cups water, and garlic 5 minutes; thicken with cornstarch slurry into a glossy sauce.
4. Warm the wrappers in a dry skillet, 30 seconds per side, to make them pliable.
5. Line each wrapper with lettuce, pile on the filling, and roll snugly, tucking the ends.
6. Spoon the warm sauce over each roll and shower with crushed peanuts and minced garlic. Eat fresh — these are the virtuous twin of the fried lumpia, and just as beloved.
