over the weekend we had the chance to go home to my parents' place in Mankayan. It was to celebrate our dad's 58th birthday. It was gonna be a simple lunch with the family. So i brought ingredients for spaghetti, then hubby made pinikpikan with a native chicken while my sis brought pork for adobo. Mama's recipe was lumpiang ubod, so lovingly and painstakingly prepared. First the young bamboo shoots are harvested, peeled, chopped then boiled with salt.
Then the wrapper is cooked one by one. The sweet sauce comes next, along with chopping and toasting the nuts and garlic..the result is a yummy treat which an Igorot like me rarely encounters in my mountains! I ate 2 pieces of the lumpia along with the lunch, whew! it was a guilt-free indulgence considering everything was naturally prepared and no cholesterol too!
