Yield Makes 8 or more wrappers

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup flour
1 egg
Corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil as needed

Steps:

1. Whisk together the flour, egg, and 1 cup water until very smooth.
2. Heat an 8- or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. When a drop of water skitters across the surface before evaporating, add a little oil-just a teaspoon or so. Ladle about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the skillet and swirl it around so that it forms a thin layer on the bottom of the pan. Pour the excess batter back in the bowl.
3. When the wrapper is just cooked through and the edges lift away from the pan, remove it carefully (you need not turn it over). Repeat with the remaining batter. If you like, keep the wrappers warm, covered, in a 200°F oven, for up to an hour before filling and serving.

1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 skinless chicken breast half, thinly sliced

Steps:

Wrappers: Mix eggs, water, cornstarch, flour, and salt together until smooth.
Put the batter through a strainer.
Heat a nonstick 8-inch omelet pan.
Over medium heat, brush pan with 1/4 teaspoon oil.
Pour 1/4 cup batter into pan; move pan to let the batter flow over the entire surface.
Cook until lightly browned on the edges and surface looks dry, about 45 seconds.
Loosen with a spatula, and cook the other side 10 seconds longer.
Place cooked wrapper onto a plate.
Repeat until all the batter is used.
Add 1 tablespoon oil to a wok over high heat, swirling to coat sides.
Stir-fry the onion and garlic for 30 seconds.
Add chicken and shrimp; stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Remove contents from pan.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same pan.
Stir-fry the jicama and carrot for 1 minute.
Add green onions; cook about 2 minutes more, so that the vegetables are still crisp but tender.
Return chicken mixture to pan; add oyster sauce, fish sauce, and pepper; cook for 1 minute.
Cool.
Use half of a piece of lettuce for each lumpia.
Place lettuce on wrapper and spoon about 1/3 cup filling on top.
Fold bottom third of wrapper over filling, then fold in sides.
Serve with a mixture of hoisin sauce and soy sauce.
