A Malaysian street fast food – a crispy half-cooked baguette filled with spicy beef filling and egg. Simple, hearty, and incredibly delicious.

Ingredients

114 g Ground beef
1 pcs Onion
3 pcs Egg
1 tbsp Hot chili pepper
0.5 pcs Baguette
to taste Salt
to taste Black pepper
to taste Mayonnaise
to taste Vegetable oil

Instructions

Finely chop the onion. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, chili, salt, and pepper. Beat the eggs separately and mix with the beef mixture.
Heat a skillet or griddle with a small amount of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Spread the beef mixture on the skillet, place half of the baguette on top with the cut side down, and press lightly with a spatula.
Flip the baguette in the air (or supporting it with a spatula), raw side down to the skillet, and fry for another 1–2 minutes until a light crispy crust forms.
Transfer the roti john to a plate, brush with mayonnaise if desired, and serve hot, cut into convenient pieces.
