Malacca deep fried bread stuffed with mince beef

Malacca deep fried bread stuffed with mince beef

I got this recipe idea from a recent trip to Malacca, and then came home to create Malacca deep fried bread stuffed with mince beef.  This is a cracking dish.  A must when your sitting there with an icy cold beer. Perfect bed-fellows.

It was hot hot hot in Malacca this day, and we needed a refreshment break. We popped in to a watering hole down the back-streets, and I noticed a dish in the menu of fried bread and beef. Interesting I thought, and boy I was not disappointed. It was truly a fantastic little thing, and actually quite easy. I made up my very own version – here is my very own version of Malacca deep fried bread stuffed with mince beef.

This will make a load of little rolls of Malacca deep fried bread stuffed with mince beef. This is beer food, and or finger food on steroids, and there is easily enough here for say 6-8 people.

• 1 pack of minced beef;
• 1 finely chopped red onion;
• 2 tablespoons of finely chopped garlic;
• 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce;
• A good pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper;
• A cup of roughly chopped sweet basil;
• 1 loaf of white bread;
• A good litre of oil for frying;
• Mayonnaise; and
• A fresh lemon, cut in to quarters.

Ready to rock ‘n’ roll? This is so easy. Here cometh Malacca deep fried bread stuffed with mince beef.

1. Fry off the garlic and onion in a wok, until browned;
2. Throw in the beef mince and cook until browned as well;
3. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper, and at the last minute the basil;
4. Set aside;
5. Stack the loaf up and cut off all the crusts leaving just the white bit of the loaf;
6. Using a rolling pin, flatten the little square until they are really thin. This won’t take long. This is your wrapping for the mince for frying;
7. Spoon some of the mince meat on to the bread piece and then roll as tightly as you can to a sausage like shape;
8. Secure the sausage with two cocktail sticks and set aside. Repeat this for the whole loaf of bread. You should end up with 25 or so sausages;
9. Heat up your oil to circa 230 degrees and then lay in the sausages and fry until the bread is golden brown;
10. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon and set on to some kitchen towel to allow the excess oil to drain.

You are finished. That’s my Malacca deep fried bread stuffed with mince beef.

For serving cut the sausage in half so your 25 becomes 50 portions. Lay on a plate. Garnish with a couple of lemon slices, and some Japanese mayonnaise for dipping. Malacca deep fried bread stuffed with mince beef  was absolutely delicious. Come on how could fried food not be good??? You are going to love this – ENJOY!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
