Roti Babi
Ingredients
-
8 slices of stale bread
-
300g (10 oz) minced pork or chicken
-
1 onion, finely chopped
-
1 egg
-
1 tsp salt
-
Pepper
-
1 tsp cornflour
-
oil for deep frying
Step 1 - Mix minced meat together with onion, egg, salt, pepper and cornflour. Trim crusts from bread slices if desired.
Step 2 - Heat wok half full with oil. In the meantime, spread meat mixture evenly on each sliced of the bread. Test if oil is hot enough by frying first a small piece of bread, the oil should sizzle.
Step 3 - Once oil is hot enough, carefully slide in bread, meat side down, into the oil and fry until golden brown. Turn over to fry the other side till golden brown.
Step 4 - Remove and drain on kitchen paper. Can also serve hot with a classic Hainanese dip of sliced red chillies in Worchestire sauce.
