NOTES
1. Tips preparing spring rolls
Spring rolls are often deep-fried, but you can also easily make them in the oven or air fryer. Preheat the oven to 430 °F (220 °C) and bake the chicken lumpia for 15 minutes. Flip them halfway through. Heat the air fryer to 400 °F (200 °C) and bake for 8 minutes. Turn the spring rolls after four minutes. 4. Storage
Let the lumpia cool down.
- Cover the rest of the wrappers when the package is open with a damp tea towel to prevent them from drying.
- Roll up tightly; otherwise, the spring rolls will absorb more fat.
- Place the lumpia on kitchen paper after baking to drain (and make them extra crispy).
- Let them cool down well before freezing (they will stay much crispier).
- Chicken - you can use ground chicken instead of chicken pieces.
- Also tasty - Add spring onion or bell pepper to the filling.
- More vegetables? Add nasi vegetables to the mix. About 200 grams.
- Substitute spring roll wrappers with two sheets of filo pastry.

- Refrigerator - Put them in an airtight container and put baking paper in between. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freezer - The spring rolls can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Freezing tips - Use baking paper to separate the spring rolls. Or place them on a baking tray. Freeze for 2 hours, then remove from the baking sheet and pack in a freezer box or bag. The spring rolls do not need to be thawed before reheating.
- Reheat - Fry for 4 minutes at 350 °F (ca. 177 °C) in a deep fryer. Or 8 minutes in the air fryer at 400 °F (ca. 204 °C) (turn halfway through).
