  • 6 stalks of green onions, finely chopped
  • 200 grams chicken breast, finely diced
  • 4 eggs, hard-boiled and sliced thinly

• For the Spice Paste:

  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cm piece of kencur (a type of aromatic root; can be substituted with ginger if unavailable)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

• For the Seasoning:

  • Salt to taste
  • Sugar to taste
  • Flavor enhancer (optional)

• Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 egg white (for sealing the wrappers)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables and Chicken:

   • Finely chop the carrots and green onions. Dice the chicken breast into small pieces.

2. Make the Spice Paste:

   • In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic, kencur, and ground black pepper. Blend until smooth to create a fragrant spice paste.

3. Cook the Filling:

   • Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until it releases its aroma.
   • Add the chopped carrots, green onions, and diced chicken to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
   • Add a small amount of chicken broth if desired to enhance the flavor. Season with salt, sugar, and a flavor enhancer if using. Stir well and cook until all ingredients are well combined.
   • Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.

4. Assemble the Lumpia:

   • Place a lumpia wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Add a few slices of hard-boiled egg on top of the filling.
   • Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling and roll it up tightly, securing the ends. Use a little egg white to seal the edges and prevent the filling from spilling out.

5. Fry the Lumpia:

   • Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the prepared lumpia rolls, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding.
   • Fry until the spring rolls are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
   • Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve the Lumpia Ayam Telur warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy these crispy, savory spring rolls as a delightful appetizer or snack!
