the beginning of never ending food porn (well it will end..someday)

who doesn't like thai food? well, maybe some of you don't but i LOVEEE thai food. one of my favorite destination for holiday is Bangkok for its shopping places but mainly because its food. it's cheap and my tongue loves it. thai pancake, tom yum, meatball noodle, coconut ice cream, ah this can go on forever.

let's get rollin (get it spring rolls, rollin. uh me and my humor)

Prep the ingredients, they are
- bawang bombay - carrots - shrimp - jamur kuping

Using mortar&pestle (better known as..ehm ulekan) ulek white pepper (merica)
with garlic and don't forget some salt....

...until it looked like this. this will be the bumbu for the spring rolls

Now boil some water and put in the soun/glass noodle.
chop it up up up! oh and don't forget to boil the shrimp

now let's get on to the cooking process

pour some oil to the skillet and put in the bumbu (merica+garlic)
jangan sampe gosoooong!

fast forward >>>>>>>>> dump the food you have prepared (jamur kuping, carrot, shrimp, soun and onions)
season it with pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce (saos tiram), and sugar.
the reason i didn't season it with salt is because
1) udh ada soy sauce
2) udh dikasih garam di bumbu garlic+merica nya
but if you feel like it lacks salt, add some! hahaha

TADA!!!!! now let's get to the fun part

ROLLING THE ROLLS! spoon a tablespoon of rolls' filling to the kulit lumpia

like dis. and prepare a little water because you'll need it to stick the kulit lumpia.
ini agak salah fotonya, harusnya dilipet dari bawah sampe ketemu kulit diatasnya, lalu dikasih air sampe nempel, baru tutup kanan kirinya dan di roll keatas sampe pojok terus kasih air sampe nempel!

jangan sampe robek, be gentle with the kulit lumpia karena kalo robek pas gorengnya bisa luber kemana-mana. kalo udah digulung semua, prepare cooking oil and fry it.
selamat mencoba and happy holiday
