Description
Lumpiang Sariwa is a type of Filipino savoury crepe filled with crunchy cooked vegetables like carrots, bamboo shoots, turnips and cabbage drenched in a sweet savoury peanut sauce.
Ingredients
Crepe
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups water
- salt
- peanut oil
Filling
- 200 g pork, chopped into small pieces
- 150 g shrimps, shelled and chopped
- 1/4 head of cabbage, sliced thinly
- 2 medium carrots, sliced thinly
- 2 cups bamboo shoots, sliced
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- lettuce leaves (cos or fancy variant)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- salt
- oil
Peanut Sauce
- 8 cloves garlic, 2 minced and the remaining with skin on
- 1 cup peanuts, crushed
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp cornstarch, dissolved in 1/2 cup water
Instructions
Crepe
- In a bowl mix together flour and 1 cup water, mix thoroughly. Once fully mixed add salt, beaten eggs and the remaining water. Mix it well; the end result will be a really runny batter.
- Heat up a flat bottomed non-stick pan then brush it with a very little amount of peanut oil. Place heat on low setting.
- Scoop out 1/4 cup of the mixture then pour evenly on the non-stick pan then cook for roughly 90-120 seconds. Once top is firm and a dry, starting with the edges lift the crepes and gently flip it over (this is hard and needs a bit of practice). Once flipped cook for 15 more seconds. Remove crepe from pan by sliding it out. Do it for the remaining batter and stack them by placing a parchment paper in between otherwise it will stick to each other.
Filling
- In a pot add water and salt and bring it to a boil, once boiling add bamboo shoots and cook until tender. Remove bamboo shoots from the pot then drain and set aside. Â If you find it smelly you can boil it multiple times and replcing the water each time.
- In a wok heat oil then lightly brown the pork pieces.
- Add garlic and stir fry for 1 minute.
- Add bamboo shoots then stir fry for 2 minutes.
- Add carrots, cabbage and shrimps and stir fry for 1 minute.
- Add chicken stock and simmer in high heat until liquid dries out.
- Remove filling from wok, place in a colander to drain any liquid. Set aside
Peanut Sauce
- Place 6 garlic cloves in a sauce pan with water, bring that to a boil and cook garlic with skin on. You can also cook this together with the bamboo shoots. Once cooked remove from sauce pan then remove the skin and mash.
- In a sauce pan add oil then sauté garlic once brown add soy sauce, water, sugar, half of chopped peanuts and mashed garlic. Bring to a boil then simmer.
- Add cornstarch mixture and cook in low temperature until sauce thickens.
Lumpiang Sariwa
- Lay down crepe in a plate then place 1 lettuce leaf on top.
- Add 3-4 spoonful of the vegetable mixture then wrap the crepe carefully.
- Pour peanut sauce on top, then sprinkle crushed peanuts on top.





Raymund, I love veggies *and* the deep fried ones, but are trying to be healthier, so these will help me get a healthier “fix”,
YUM!
Nice peanut sauce topping with those fresh looking veges rolled inside Raymund.
That looks sooooo good! I could almost taste the garlic peanut sauce on the vegetables … must try this soon!
Those look simply wonderful.
That sauce sounds fantastic! And I like the idea of rolling it an egg crepe. :)
Oh I love these and a peanut sauce recipe as well.. I am still trying to find one i like.. maybe yours! yum.. c
I learned a new phrase today: Lumpiang Sariwa. I LOVE spring rolls and I LOVE peanut sauce. I’m in heaven reading this
I love fresh springs rolls. That sauce looks so good!
I really liked how you wrapped the lettuce along with the crepe… it looks really pretty. I completely forgot but you reminded me. I want to try peanut oil. I’ve seen in other recipes and I’m curious how different from vegetable oil…. I heard it’s great for deep frying and I must try! Thanks for sharing this delicious dish.
A lot of Asian dishes uses peanut oil for thier high smoking point which is good for woks. The flavour attributes comes next.
Ohh….u make me really hungry…love ur perfection dear..:P
Tasty Appetite

ang ganda ng lumpia!
Oh I’m so glad you did a post on this. I’ve tried them once before but I don’t think I made them right. I’ll have to try again using your recipe :)
I LOVE the idea of using a soft, not fried, wrapper like a crepe. Your wraps look like perfection.
Wow! Was just craving for this last night! Your food, as always, looks absolutely divine! :)
