Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 cup shredded cabbage, 1 julienned carrot, 1/2 cup green beans, 1/2 cup bean sprouts, 1/4 cup sliced water chestnuts, and 1/4 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable mixture and stir-fry for 5 minutes until crisp-tender, then remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Step 3: Lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture in the center, then fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly to form a cylinder.
  4. Step 4: Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the lumpia in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, then drain on paper towels.
  5. Step 5: Whisk together 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup crushed peanuts until smooth to make the dipping sauce.

Can I substitute ingredients in Vegetable Lumpia with Peanut Dipping Sauce?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
