Method
- For the wrappers, whisk all-purpose flour, rice flour, cornstarch, eggs, water, and salt into a thin smooth batter. Rest for 20 minutes.
- Cook very thin crepes in a lightly oiled nonstick pan over medium-low heat, using just enough batter to cover the base. Stack under a clean damp towel.
- For the filling, heat oil and cook onion and garlic until soft. Add pork and cook until no longer pink.
- Add shrimp, carrot, beans, and ubod. Pour in stock and fish sauce and simmer until the ubod is tender-crisp and the liquid has nearly evaporated. Drain if necessary and cool slightly.
- For the sauce, simmer stock, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic for 3 minutes. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook until glossy and thick enough to spread.
- Lay one wrapper flat and spread about one tablespoon sauce across the centre.
- Add a narrow strip of filling, a spring-onion length, and a little crushed chicharon if using. Roll into a slender finger-sized cylinder, folding the lower edge over the filling and leaving the upper end open if preferred.
- Serve immediately. The defining sauce should already be inside the roll rather than drowning the finished lumpia from outside.
