Prepare Filling:
- Heat your wok and add the oil.
- Add finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the wok, and sauté until softened and aromatic.
- Stir in the Sambal oelek and Trassi oedang, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Add in the diced chicken or your preferred protein, along with the thinly sliced vegetables such as white cabbage, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and carrots.
- Drizzle with Ketjap manis and toss the mixture until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp, ensuring they retain their vibrant colors and flavors.
-
Assemble Loempia’s:
- Lay out two spring roll sheets, one on top of the other, with the corners positioned diagonally opposite.
- Spoon a generous amount of the prepared filling onto the top center of the spring roll sheet.
- Fold in the top and bottom corners over the filling, then fold in the left and right corners, ensuring the filling is tightly packed.
- Next, fold the second spring roll sheet over the first in the opposite direction, creating a neat package.
- Brush some beaten egg over the final folds to seal the Loempia securely.
-
Fry and Serve:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet until hot but not smoking.
- Carefully add the assembled Loempia’s to the hot oil and fry for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Once cooked, remove the Loempia’s from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve your freshly fried Indonesian Loempia’s hot and crispy, accompanied by a dipping sauce of your choice, such as peanut sauce or a simple mixture of Ketjap manis and Sambal oelek for an extra kick of flavor.
Enjoy the delightful crunch and savory goodness of these Indonesian Loempia’s, perfect for sharing with family and friends as a delicious appetizer or snack at any gathering or celebration! 🇮🇩🥢
