Lumpia Semarang (Semarang Spring Roll)



Lumpia semarang is a kind of eggroll with bamboo shoots, chicken & prawn filling. It was created by Chinese immigrants and local people in the city of Semarang in central Java. But now it has become a well known traditional food from Semarang, it's a nice portrait of how cultures could blend together and create a new innovation :)

  • 1 pack bamboo shoot (thinly sliced)
  • 3 eggs (scrambled and chopped)
  • 3 green onions (thinly sliced)

  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • Black pepper and salt to taste
  • 1 pack spring roll wrapper
  • Chili sauce
  • Enough oil for frying

Preparation:
  • Stir fry onion until translucent then add garlic.
  • Add chicken, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt and pepper.
  • Cook until chicken is cooked.
  • Add the vegetables and cooked for about 5 min, then add scrambled eggs
