Roti john
HB-1949 · Hand-built original · Malaysian
Main ingredient: beef
Pairs well with: mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, red wine sauce, yorkshire pudding, green beans
Ingredients
- 1/2 baguette, split lengthwise (about 9¾ in)
- 1/4 lb minced beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp finely chopped red chilli, or 1 tsp chilli sauce, plus more to serve
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise, to serve
- Ketchup or chilli sauce, to serve (optional)
Method
- Beat the eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper. Stir in the minced beef, onion, and chilli and mix until evenly combined, breaking up the meat.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg and beef mixture and spread it out to roughly the size of the bread.
- Cook for 2 minutes until the egg begins to set underneath. Lay the cut sides of the baguette down onto the mixture and press gently so they stick.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more until the egg is set and lightly browned and the beef is cooked through.
- Flip the whole sandwich over carefully, toast the crust side for 30 seconds, then transfer to a board.
- Spread or drizzle with mayonnaise and extra chilli sauce or ketchup if liked, cut into thick slices, and serve hot.
