Lumpiang Ubod

Lumpiang Ubod is a version of Lumpiang Sariwa that makes use of hearts of palm (ubod ng nyog) as filling. I love making this on a weekend with the entire family. We usually enjoy this for lunch along with grilled pork and cassava cake for dessert.

How to Cook Lumpiang Ubod

There are three simple processes involved when making fresh lumpia. First is cooking the filling. This involves sautéing the hearts of palm with the protein ingredients along with shrimp and carrots.

The next step is making the sauce. This is the easiest of all, in my opinion. It only takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

Making the fresh wrapper is the last process. It is also simple, but requires a bit of learning curve when it comes to the actual cooking of the wrapper. You should not worry about it as long as you follow all the steps provided in the recipe below and watch the video for guidance.

Once everything is in place, you should be able assemble the lumpia easily. Simply put a piece of lettuce over the wrapper and then top it with the filling. Gently wrap and secure the filling. Top with a generous amount of sauce and sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts.

Enjoy this awesome dish as a snack, or you can also have it as an appetizer. It also goes well as a main dish with rice on the side.
