Cooking instructions
* Step 1
I made my own wrapper because the store is still closed due to Eid al-Fitr, but feel free to use store-bought spring roll wrapper for it will save 2 hours of your time. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl with a clean hand, add the water little by little and mix gently until it forms stringy dough like the 2nd picture. Add about 3 tbsp water more, mix well.
* Step 2
Cover the bowl with a table cloth and let the dough rest for 2 hours.
* Step 3
Use a non stick pan to fry. Make sure to set the stove on very low heat. Heat the pan for 5 seconds only, lift the pan from heat, smear a thin layer of dough on the heated pan with your hand until it forms a nice circle. Put it back on the stove, let it cook for 1-2 minutes. Be careful, this step needs some practice.
* Step 4
If you see some holes, use your fingertip to cover the holes with dough.
* Step 5
Remove from the pan, cover with table cloth to avoid over drying, set aside.
* Step 6
Peel and cut the jicamas (bengkuang)

Boil the gula melaka (gula merah) with water until it dissolves completely

Add the jicama and let it cook for 1.5 hours on low to medium heat until it’s tender
* Step 9
Strain and remove the cooked jicama from the pan. Leave the remaining sugar mixture heated
* Step 10
Dissolve the cornstarch in 200 ml water and add to the sugar mixture. Heat it until it has glue-like consistency

Prepare the seasoning paste by blending the garlics, shallots, candlenuts, cayenne peppers, and chilis with food processor.

Heat the oil, add the onion. Cook on medium heat until it starts to smell.

Add the seasoning paste, cook for 1-2 minutes, add the eggs and mix everything to become scrambled eggs
