Cook the filling
Heat the oil in a wide pan and sauté the shallots and garlic until fragrant. Add the chicken and shrimp and cook, stirring, until no longer pink. Stir in the bamboo shoots, stock, coriander, white pepper, sugar, soy sauce and salt, and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 shallots
- 4 cloves garlic
- 150 g chicken breast
- 150 g shrimp
- 300 g bamboo shoots
- 100 ml chicken stock or water
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp salt
✅ C'est prêt quand : the chicken and shrimp are fully cooked through and the mixture looks almost dry, not watery

Stir in the egg
Push the filling to one side of the pan, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble quickly over the heat. Once set, break the egg into small pieces and fold it through the filling.
- 2 large eggs
✅ C'est prêt quand : the egg is fully set with no runny parts, in small shreds through the mix

The Story Behind the Dish
Lumpia Semarang grew out of the long presence of Chinese traders in the port city of Semarang, who brought their own spring roll tradition and blended it with local Javanese ingredients and tastes. Local legend ties its origin to a marriage between a Chinese immigrant and a Javanese woman, whose combined cooking produced a filling of bamboo shoots, egg and shrimp quite unlike spring rolls found anywhere else in Indonesia.
Over generations it became Semarang's signature street food, sold from carts and small shops, and it is now proudly claimed as the city's culinary symbol, served at festivals and family gatherings alike.
⭐ Why It's Famous
It is one of Indonesia's clearest examples of Peranakan Chinese-Javanese cooking, prized for its savoury-sweet bamboo shoot filling and its crackling, golden crust.
💡 Fun Fact
Semarang holds a street festival built around lumpia, and the dish is often considered the city's unofficial edible mascot.
