Instructions
- Make the sauce. Simmer the soy sauce, water, garlic, and sugar. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until slightly thickened. Set aside.
- Make the wrappers. Blend or whisk the wrapper ingredients until smooth. Cook in a lightly greased pan over medium heat, using about ¼ cup batter for each wrapper. Cook for about 1 minute, then flip briefly or cover until set. Set aside.
- Make the filling. Sauté garlic and onion, then cook the meat. Add tofu, green papaya, carrots, jicama, and cabbage. Season and cook until tender-crisp. Stir in cilantro and scallions. Let cool and drain excess liquid.
- Assemble. Place a lettuce leaf on a wrapper. Add the filling, then top with fried garlic and crushed peanuts. Fold the bottom over the filling, then fold in the sides.
- Serve. Pour the sauce over the lumpiang sariwa, top with more peanuts, and serve right away.

Notes
- Vegetables: I used green papaya, cabbage, carrots, and jicama. Bean sprouts, green beans, sweet potatoes, or ubod also work.
- Protein: I used chicken and tofu, but ground pork, shrimp, or no protein also works.
- Milk: Use regular milk, dairy-free milk, or water.
- Melted butter: Neutral oil or ghee works too.
- For serving: Lettuce, peanuts, and fried garlic are optional.
