Martabak Recipe

Ingredients:

1lb of ground beef

2 cloves of garlic

3 eggs

1 bunch of scallions

1 package of egg roll wrappers

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a wok or skillet, drizzle 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add the beef and stir in the garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring often and breaking up the beef, until browned. Once Browned, crack the eggs into the mixture and stir until the eggs are thoroughly mixed and cooked. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. While the beef mixture is cooling, thinly slice the scallions.

3. Once thoroughly cooled, mix scallions into the beef.

4. Place one egg roll wrapper on work surface and cover the others to keep them from drying out. Place about 1/4c of beef mixture in center of wrapper. Fold two of the edges over the center. Bring one corner over the two edges and roll.

5. In a clean wok or deep skillet and add 1c oil over medium heat. Once thoroughly heated, fry the folded martabak until browned and crisp on each side, about 3 minutes total. Place on towel lined plate.

6. Serve crispy. Recommended to enjoy with your favorite dish or prawn chips.
