Questions

Can I make Fresh Lumpia gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos; the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Fresh Lumpia keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Fresh Lumpia?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
