Questions

What internal temperature should Fresh Lumpia reach?

For Fresh Lumpia, the target internal temperature is 145 F (about 65 C), given in step 2. A probe thermometer removes the guesswork.

What can I use instead of cornstarch in Fresh Lumpia?

The entry for Fresh Lumpia calls for 2 tbsp cornstarch. In its place: Use twice as much all-purpose flour and cook it a few minutes longer, or the same amount of arrowroot or tapioca starch.

Can I make Fresh Lumpia gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Fresh Lumpia 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.

Does Fresh Lumpia contain peanuts?

Yes: 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, eggs, peanuts and soy. Where the peanuts are a garnish, toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds give the same crunch. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
