Ingredients
- Chicken Breast: 1 piece (enough to suit your preference)
- Bihun Noodles: Sufficient amount
- Celery: 1 stalk, finely chopped
- Shallots: 5 cloves
- Garlic: 4 cloves
- Oyster Sauce: To taste
- Soy Sauce: To taste
- Salt: To taste
- Spring Roll Wrappers: Enough for wrapping
- Egg White: For sealing the wrappers
Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by frying the chicken breast until it is fully cooked and golden brown. Once done, cut the chicken into small dice-sized pieces and set aside.
-
-
Cook the Noodles: Boil the bihun noodles according to the package instructions until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In a pan, finely grind the shallots, garlic, and a pinch of salt into a paste. Heat a little oil in the pan and sauté this mixture until it becomes fragrant and golden brown.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the diced chicken to the sautéed mixture. Stir well to combine. Next, add the cooked bihun noodles and finely chopped celery. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined.
-
Season the Filling: Season the mixture with soy sauce and oyster sauce according to your taste preferences. If needed, adjust the seasoning with additional salt or seasoning to enhance the flavor. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to avoid burning your hands during the wrapping process.
-
Wrap the Lumpia: Take a spring roll wrapper and place a generous amount of the chicken and noodle mixture in the center. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to seal. Use egg white to seal the edge of the wrapper to ensure the lumpia stays intact while frying.
-
Fry the Lumpia: Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. Carefully place the wrapped lumpia into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until the lumpia are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the lumpia from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy the crispy, savory goodness!
