Homemade Roti John By Using White Bread

-

Roti John is a famous street food in Malaysia. It consists of long hot dog bread and filled with egg mixed with meat, some herbs and spices and sauces. Cheese is also added on the costumer's request. The price is around RM5 to RM10 depends on the filling. The filling usually are egg with beef or chicken, and extra price for addition of cheese.
Whenever I crave for roti john in the morning or when I did not go out I just make a simple one at home by using available ingredients. Here is a simpler version of roti john which just using egg without meat. Personally I prefer this version a bit because the bread used (white bread slices) are thinner. I also included the additional method on how to add meat in it.

Ingredients
  • 2 slices of bread, or 1 hot dog bun.
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/2 green chili or bell pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped Chinese Celery (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon curry spice mix
  • Minced cabbage, and sliced onion
  • Chili sauce
  • Black pepper sauce
  • Mayonnaise
  • Cheese
  • 2 tablespoon cooking oil
Methods
  • Mince or thinly slice onion and chili.
  • Mix them with egg and celery.
  • Add in 1/4 teaspoon salt and curry spice mix
  • Mix well. Heat the cooking in a pan.
  • Scoop the egg mix and shape according to the bread shape. 
  • Take a slice of bread and put on the egg. 
  • Wait until the egg is cooked and golden and flip the bread to cook the bread surface. 
  • Then fold the bread to half. Cook both of the bread surface before removing it from the pan. 
  • Add the fresh minced cabbage,lettuce and sliced onion, chili sauce, black pepper sauce, mayonnaise and cheese in the middle while it is still hot. Any of these are optional. I just add chili sauce at home. 
  • Cut into small pieces and serve.

Using hot dog bun
  • You can use hot dog bun but don't slice the bun to the edge. Leave a little part intact so your bread can be opened like a book. 
  • When pouring the egg, pour it in the shape of two hot dog bun surface. 
  • Open the bun showing both of the sliced surfaces and top it on the egg.
  • Then flip to cook the bread top and bottom. Fold the bread into the shape of hot dog bread and cook it again on both surface until it become a bit crispy and golden. 
  • Remove from the pan. 

Methods

Method 2 (with beef or chicken)
  • If you want to add beef or chicken fry or saute 3 tablespoon minced meat, you can add curry powder or black pepper powder and a little bit salt to it. 
  • Then cool it a little and add it to the egg mix. Then you can follow the above instructions.

Malay/English I was cooking fish curry when my mom asked me to cook this green vegetable. It was just recently my family eat this vegetable. It looks like lettuce to me. I even imagine to eat it raw in my sandwich. The packaging wrote Yau Mark Tam. Yau mark tam? A vegetable from China I guess. Then I thought I would just sauté it with anchovies. And today I searched about yau mark tam in the internet and... it is actually romaine lettuce... hahaha... But sauteed romaine lettuce is also delicious. So let's look at the recipe.

Solok Lada

Solok Lada (so-lock la-da) or Stuffed Chili is a side dish along with Nasi Kerabu (Kelantanese Salad Rice). It is also can be eaten along with rice and gulai or curry. It is a dish made from big green chili (usually a type of chili we call solok chili) filled with flavored grated coconut and fish.  The taste of solok is creamy, a bit spicy, salty and sweet. However the spiciness of the chili has been largely reduced because the chili is cooked and the seeds are removed before stuffing in the coconut filling. Usually sardine and mackerel fish are used to make Solok Lada.  Solok Lada is delicious when eaten with Nasi Kerabu which has a mixed flavor from fresh minced vegetables and herbs, spicy coconut sauce (tumis), grated coconut sambal and budu (anchovies sauce). It is also accompanied with sambal air lada (chili sambal), and any meat of choice. Solok is also delicious when eaten with rice and gulai, a curry like gravy which is usually cooked with meat, fish and chicken. T
