Well Jade’s back from her class trip to London and I’m back to blogging. I really didn’t feel like food blogging meals for one, so I took the opportunity to find my voice for the cookbook I’m writing. Mission accomplished!
R.S. Macalaay’s blog featuring Filipino food and other scrumptious dishes has become a big favorite of mine. When I saw his “spring rolls without wrappers” plate http://angsarap.net/2012/04/17/lumpiang-hubad/, I knew I had to make it. Crisp vegetables with ground pork and shrimp sounded like a winner to me and Jade’s trip left her with a serious craving for vegetables.
I added some ginger, celery, used a different peanut sauce and changed some quantities, so for authenticity, go to the blog site. Thank you for the inspiration R.S.!
Lumpiang Hubad
1/2 lb ground pork
2 tbsp peanut oil
2 large garlic cloves, slivered
3 slices of fresh ginger, slivered
2 branches celery, thinly sliced
1 sweet potato, thinly sliced
1/4 head cabbage, shredded
1 cup green beans, thinly sliced
1lb shrimp, shelled and cleaned
1/2 cup chicken broth
Hoisin peanut butter sauce http://atomic-temporary-17826715.wpcomstaging.com/2011/11/06/deep-fried-quail-with-hoisin-dipping-sauce/
Chopped peanuts
Asian noodles, cooked
Cook the pork in the oil until lightly browned. Add the garlic, ginger and celery, stir frying for 1 minute. Add the sweet potato and stir fry for 1 minute. Add the cabbage and green beans and stir fry for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and stir fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the broth, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute.
Serve with the peanut butter sauce, chopped peanuts and noodles.
Our famous lumpia! We have several versions of that recipe too!
Hi Charlene. I’d had lumpia before in California but I have to say, I really like this no wrapper version also!
Looks wonderful!
Thank you Tessa.
That’s good to hear! Visit the Philippines soon! =)
We might just have to do that!
Looks so good and healthy 🙂
Also, when I lived in the UK, I got such a kick out of the classes of children on trips. It is one of the great things about being in Europe — so many countries/cultures to explore. And, wisely, they start the children early.
She had a great time, but she did miss the vegetables 🙂
Hope the book’s coming on well, and say hello to Jade from Jenny and me.
Thank you Roger.
Fantastic – I didn’t know you were writing a cookbook! Ill be the first to buy a copy! This sounds and looks great! Interesting name, though, it sounds like an illness 😀 – no offence of course. I’ve missed your food, Rosemary.
Hi Frugal. I thought I’d try one first as an e-book for kindle to see if there is any interest. Thank you, I’ve missed your comments 🙂
Very nice pictures and ingredients mix.
Thank you
that peanut butter sauce sounds wonderful, I can imagine how good this tastes
Next time I’ll have to try the original peanut sauce.
I can only echo the comments above and add a (yet another) positive comment on the styling and photography. Lovely,
Conor
Thank you Conor!
Excellent!
Thank you Mad Dog.
Very nice version, I love the use of noodles in this dish!
Thanks for the inspiration rs!
I didn’t know you were writing a book.. fantastic! I think this is such a healthier version.. more of the good veggie “inside” bits!!
The vegetables were fabulous in this dish!
Fantastic recipe! My family would love this.
Thank you Karista.
Reblogged this on Travelling On and commented:
Delicious!
I love his blog too and need to try some of his recipes. First to a good market….
Or Phillipines 🙂
I was so giddy when I saw your post “Lumpiang Hubad” I was browsing for a different recipe and there it presented itself, I can hear it calling my attention, “look at me, read me..” I’m glad I found your blog.
Love,
Kat
I’m glad you found it too Katskusina!
This sounds like such an interesting and delicious combination of flavors! Must try this soon!
