Lumpia Semarang Ala Amirah

I personally love spring rolls or popiah, love when i bite that crunchy skin.  At home, mom always make for special occasion.

As i stay in indonesia, i come to know this spring roll called Lumpia Semarang, it is a special spring roll from the province of Semarang.  Lumpia Semarang basically filled with bamboo shoots, shredded chicken, prawns and scrambled eggs :) It can either be eaten fried or fresh.

Lumpia semarang made with a special made lumpia skin, i can easily get here, as it is available at all wet market everyday.  The skin is totally different from frozen popiah skin.  Lumpia skin is so much better than any frozen ones, when these rolls are fried, the skin turn so crispy and it is hardly break or leak like those frozen skin, since i found this fantastic fresh lumpia skin, i never have gone back for frozen popiah skin ever!! i just love every bite when its already fried, it is heavenly crispy!

Here comes my version lumpia semarang, filled with bamboo shoots, chicken meat and carrots. As i do not have prawns and scrambled eggs included, so i name my own version. Its already so delicious, can not imagine if with the 2 complete ingredients, im sure more tasty.  I have been making for the 3rd time, i am loving my own version with just 3 ingredients and seasoning anyway, and this is the latest lumpia semarang i made.  You may say that this is not so lumpia semarang...lol*  anyway....

Lets get on with the recipe.
