Made these for Christmas Eve dinner for my parents and brother. I made MANY alterations: I only used shrimp, celery, carrot, and store-bought roasted, minced garlic for the filling. I also subbed some fresh oj for the vinegar in the sauce. Instead of deep-frying (I shy from that), I BAKED them. Also, for my picky brother, I filled HIS lumpias with pizza sauce and cheese - made him homemade pizza rolls. THe crepe batter is versatile: For my brother's I seasoned with pizza seasonings, for ours I used some ginger, brown sugar, and subbed some canned pineapple juice for the water. I give the recipe high points for it's versatility (and my parents RAVED about the sauce - "what? ketchup? No way!"), but I deduct one star because the entire meal took me 8 hours to prepare because the crepes were MUCH tougher to make. I hope my rating is fair.
