Chicken Rolade with Crispy Crepe Skin: A Savory Delight

Chicken Rolade Recipe (With a Touch of Humor) 😂

Ingredients:

For the Crepe-Like Skin:

• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
• Black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

• 300 grams chicken thighs, cut into pieces
• 1 egg
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 5 tablespoons tapioca flour
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
• 1 stalk green onion (optional)
• Cold water (for blending)
• 1 carrot (optional)
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1/2 packet of seasoning powder (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crepe-Like Skin:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
   • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
   • Pour a portion of the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a thin crepe-like layer. Cook until the surface is set and slightly golden. Repeat until all the batter is used up, making multiple crepes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • Heat a steamer and get it ready while you prepare the chicken mixture.
   • In a blender, combine the chicken, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. Add a little cold water to help blend the mixture until it’s smooth and well combined.
   • Optionally, mix in chopped green onion and carrot for added flavor and texture.

3. Assemble the Chicken Rolade:

   • Place a crepe-like skin on a clean surface. Spread a layer of the chicken filling evenly over the skin.
   • Carefully roll the crepe tightly, folding the edges inwards to form a neat, compact roll. Think of it as rolling up a giant rissole! 😂
   • Lightly grease your steamer basket or use a cloth to prevent sticking, and place the rolled chicken in the steamer. Steam for about 25 minutes, then let it cool down.

4. Finish and Serve:

   • Once cooled, slice the rolled chicken into portions of your desired size. For a crispy finish, coat each slice lightly with all-purpose flour.
   • Heat oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Fry the slices until they are golden brown on all sides, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
   • Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

5. Storage and Serving:

   • If not serving immediately, freeze the rolls once they have cooled. To serve, simply reheat and crisp up as needed.
   • Enjoy your delicious homemade Chicken Rolade with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a hearty meal!

This delightful Chicken Rolade combines savory flavors with a crispy exterior, making it a fun and tasty dish perfect for any occasion. 😋
