This is authentic Filipino Lumpia. My wife is Filipino and makes such delicious Lumpia. It is much simpler than the other Lumpia recipes on this site but nevertheless very delicious.

This recipe is for the Filipino Adobo, as opposed to the Mexican Adobo sauce. While the recipe calls for chicken, an equal amount of beef, pork or combination of the three works perfectly.

Sinigang is a famous Filipino dish, typically sour, that can be made with chicken, beef, pork, shrimp or fish. Usually prepared with tamarind or less commonly with guava or mango. This one is a mix of beef & pork and gets it's sourness from lemon juice, making it quite different from most other sinigang recipes I've seen.

I grew up eating pan de sal for breakfast or merienda (snack). My favorite was Baliwag-style, enriched with milk, butter and egg. Knead dough in bread machine, then shape and bake in regular oven. Breadcrumbs provide that distinctive crunchy crust. Masarap (delicious)! ****UPDATE**** (Jan. 12, 2006) I recently converted this into a 2-lb sandwich loaf in the machine, with the following modifications: Decrease bread flour to 17-1/2 oz (or remove 2 TBL), and most importantly, decrease bread machine yeast to 2 tsp only (if you don't, the dough will over rise and hit the lid). Don't roll dough in breadcrumbs. Finally, select the "Sweet" cycle and "Light Crust" setting. **Please note: Whether you make rolls or a loaf, make sure to check the dough ball; it should be as sticky as the back of a Post-it Note. Otherwise, add up to 2 TBL of flour or water, as needed.**
