This Chicken and Carrot Roll is a delightful Indonesian dish that features tender chicken breast wrapped around a flavorful carrot filling. The roll is steamed to perfection, creating a succulent and savory dish ideal for any meal. Hereโs a step-by-step guide to making this delicious recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast
- 1 lime (for cleaning the chicken)
- 2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
- 4 eggs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 shallots, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- Banana leaves or aluminum foil (for wrapping)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Clean the chicken breast thoroughly with lime to remove any odor. Filet the chicken and chop it finely or blend it into a smooth paste.
-
Prepare the Carrots:
- Finely chop the carrots and mix them with the chopped chicken.
-
Prepare the Seasoning:
- In a blender or mortar and pestle, grind the garlic, shallots, pepper, salt, and sugar until smooth. Combine this seasoning mixture with the chicken and carrots. Add one beaten egg to the mixture and mix well. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
-
Prepare the Egg Crepe:
- Beat the remaining three eggs. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in a thin layer of beaten egg. Cook until just set, then carefully flip and cook the other side briefly. Repeat to make a total of three egg crepes.
-
Assemble the Roll:
- Lay one egg crepe flat on a clean surface. Spread a portion of the chicken mixture evenly over the crepe, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the crepe up tightly, using the banana leaves or aluminum foil to assist in rolling if necessary. Secure the roll with the banana leaves or foil.
-
Steam the Roll:
- Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Place the wrapped roll in the steamer basket and steam for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and firm to the touch.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the roll from the steamer and let it rest for a few minutes before unwrapping. Slice into rounds and serve hot.
Enjoy this flavorful and satisfying Chicken and Carrot Roll with a side of steamed rice or as a stand-alone dish. Happy cooking!
