Directions
-
Boil the shrimp shells in 1 1/2 cups of water to make the stock. Simmer for 10 minutes, then strain and reserve the broth for the dipping sauce.
-
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and sliced onions, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
-
Add the browned ground pork, peeled shrimp, and cubed tofu to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 5 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.
-
Add the cubed potatoes and 1/2 cup of the reserved shrimp stock. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
-
Stir in the pole beans and cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the beans are tender-crisp.
-
Add the turnip strips, soy sauce, remaining vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and fish sauce (if using). Continue to stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Remove the filling from heat and allow it to cool completely to room temperature before assembling the rolls.
-
Prepare a bowl of warm water for softening the lumpia wrappers. Dip each wrapper into the water for a few seconds until pliable, then lay it flat on a clean surface.
-
Place a small piece of lettuce at one end of the wrapper, followed by 2 tablespoons of the cooled filling. Roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go.
-
Secure the roll by folding the bottom end and sealing it with a little water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
-
Wrap each roll individually in wax paper or plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out. Serve immediately with the reserved shrimp broth as a dipping sauce.
