It's been months since we had lumpiang sariwa in the house. There is this one food that Hubby discovered-- its called popiah (pȯh-piá ) a fresh spring roll known to
Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, Cambodia and Thailand which is very similar to our
lumpiang sariwa. It tastes good except for its wrapper which we can equate with
our fried lumpia wrapper but I am more inclined to a soft and smooth crepelike wrap. Actually lumpiang sariwa is
more like a crepe without the sweet taste and on my bias opinion tastes even
better than popiah!
LS is basically made of stir
fried vegetables and meat. I even tasted one with buko (young coconut) strips though the
buko made its stand on the texture but not the taste and adding one would be a
bonus. I was suppose to include this into my recipe but due to buko grabbing
today, non of it exist in the store nearby {sigh}.
But the good thing about cooking
or baking, you can have alternatives. If one ingre is missing, go
for the alternatives and you will be surprised on its outcome.
