A late-night street food of Malaysia, roti john is made by pouring beaten egg and spiced mince onto the cut side of bread and cooking them together. Getting the mixture to bond evenly to the bread takes skill, and it scales up quickly for a large gathering.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the mince mixture

8 min

Mix the minced beef with the onion, green pepper, salt and black pepper.

2

Combine with egg

3 min

Beat the eggs and mix them thoroughly with the mince mixture.

3

Cook with the bread

10 min

Drizzle olive oil into a hot pan and pour in the mixture, then immediately press the cut side of the bread onto it to bond.

4

Flip and cook

5 min

Flip the bread and cook for 5 more minutes until both sides turn golden.

5

Slice and serve

4 min

Slice and sprinkle with parsley before serving hot.

Reminder

Don't rush pressing the bread onto the mixture; if it isn't pressed firmly enough, the egg separates from the bread and falls apart in the pan. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten) and egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Using minced chicken instead of beef gives a lighter result; in that case I would shorten the cooking time by 2 minutes, as chicken mince cooks faster.

Baget yerine normal somun ekmekle de yapılır mı, yoksa kesik yüzü çok mu geniş kalır? Bagetim yoktu ve elimde sadece somun vardı, denemeden önce sormak istedim.

Somun ekmekle de olur, sadece kesik yüzü geniş olduğu için karışımı biraz artırmanız gerekir, aksi halde yumurta ekmeği tam kaplamaz.

On iki kişilik bir brunch için dört katına çıkardım, herkes ikinci dilimi istedi.

Karışımı tavaya döküp ekmeği üzerine bastırmam 10 saniyeden uzun sürünce yumurta kenarlarda pişmeye başlamış, ekmek tam yapışmadı. İkinci ekmekte hızlı davranınca tarifteki gibi düzgün birleşti.
