Another challenge from my dear friend @indonesiaeats to sell these delicious Lumpia Surabaya (Spring Roll) When She tagged me the photo of hers, @ditatherning, @misspratiwi and @momcecistella wanted to order them. This was also my very first time to cook this snack from Surabaya. The recipe is taken from Pepy’s blog
This Lumpia is known as a street food in Surabaya, East Java Indonesia. Actually, there are several version of Lumpia or Spring Roll in Indonesia. One of them is from Semarang, Central Java. The roll is similar, they both using bambo shoot and the differences is Surabaya’s using a little bit of minced chicken and they put Soya bean paste in the sauce. The one from Surabaya is using Soya Bean in the sauce while not from Semarang.
