Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Jicama, julienned
- 1 cup Green beans, sliced
- 1 cup Cabbage, shredded
- 3 Green onions, chopped
- 8 ounces Firm tofu, diced
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, cornstarch, salt, and turmeric powder. Gradually add water while stirring until smooth. Add the egg and vegetable oil, mixing until the batter is well combined.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a bit of oil. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling it around to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to peel away. Flip and cook for another 1 minute. Set aside and repeat with the remaining batter to make about 8 crepes.
In another large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the carrot, jicama, and green beans to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Add the cabbage and green onions, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are cooked but still crisp.
Add diced tofu and soy sauce, stirring gently to combine everything. Season with black pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on each crepe. Top with a portion of the vegetable and tofu mixture.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves and crushed peanuts. Carefully fold the sides of the crepe over the filling and roll up tightly.
Serve the fresh lumpia at room temperature, with extra soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
