Questions

How hot should the oil be for Lumpia Goreng?

For Lumpia Goreng, the frying oil is held at 350 F (about 175 C) in step 7. Hotter scorches the outside before the inside cooks, and cooler turns it greasy.

What can I use instead of oyster sauce in Lumpia Goreng?

The entry for Lumpia Goreng calls for 1 tbsp oyster sauce. In its place: Hoisin thinned with a little soy sauce is the nearest shelf substitute, and a mushroom stir-fry sauce is the vegetarian one. Both are sweeter, so hold back any sugar in the recipe.

Can I use frozen shrimp instead of shrimp in Lumpia Goreng?

Yes; most shrimp sold as fresh were frozen once already. Thaw them under cold running water for about ten minutes and pat them very dry so they sear instead of steaming. As written, the entry for Lumpia Goreng uses 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and chopped.
