Roti John Recipe

Malaysian · Main course · 30 min total

A popular Malaysian street food sandwich made with a spiced minced meat omelette stuffed into a baguette and pan-fried until crispy.

Ingredients

• 1 small baguette (about 12 inches), halved crosswise and split lengthwise
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 100 g minced chicken or beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce (or sambal oelek)
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Butter or margarine, for spreading

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine minced meat, onion, garlic, chili sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the meat mixture and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
3. Wipe the skillet clean. In a shallow dish, spread the baguette halves open. Pour the beaten eggs into the dish and dip the cut sides of the bread into the egg, letting them soak up the mixture.
4. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Place the baguette halves, cut-side down, in the skillet. Cook until the egg is set and the bread is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Flip the bread and cook the other side briefly, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
6. Spread butter on the toasted sides. Divide the cooked meat mixture between the two baguette halves, pressing it onto the bread. Fold the sandwiches closed and serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra heat, add more chili sauce or sliced fresh chilies to the meat mixture.
• Serve with extra ketchup and chili sauce on the side for dipping.
• If you prefer a softer bread, skip the pan-frying step and simply toast the baguette lightly.
