Fried Wrapped Egg a.k.a Martabak Telor

Martabak telor is a common street food in Indonesia. You can easily find street food vendors selling this food. It's an appetizer. It's a bit costly for street food because the main ingredients are eggs and meat (eggs and meat are consider as a bit expensive ingredient in Indonesia). If they usually use duck egg, in my recipe here, I just use chicken eggs. Duck egg has a pungent smell and usually its size is bigger that regular chicken egg. It has light blue color and Indonesian like to use it to make cooked salty egg. I found some cooked salty egg at Asian store in here but I'm not sure whether they make it from duck egg or chicken egg.

I'm a big fan of martabak telor. I really like the combination of eggs, lots of green onions and ground meat. They are so tasty. For the wrapper, I just use spring rolls wrapper. I have no idea how the street food vendor make their own martabak wrapper. They really make their own homemade wrapper though...Anyway, pickled cucumber and carrot are the best companion for martabak telor. Of course with some heat from red or green chili peppers.

So let's check out the recipe below:

Ingredients:

2 eggs, lightly beaten

6 stalks of green onion, chopped thinly

100 gr of ground beef

1 shallot, minced

1 clove of garlic, minced

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp curry powder

1 tsp chicken stock powder

1 tsp salt

7 spring rolls wrapper

1 tbs olive oil for sauteing

vegetable oil for deep frying

Direction:

Using a skillet, saute minced shallot and garlic until fragrant. Add ground beef and ground black pepper, stir it until the meat is tender enough.

Combine eggs, green onion, curry powder, chicken stock powder, salt and ground beef. Stir it evenly.

Place one spring roll wrapper on a flat plate. Put 1 tbs of egg filling in a middle of the wrapper and fold it like an envelope. Glue the margin with water. Keep doing it until all of the wrappers is filled.

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan (under medium-high heat) and deep fry the filled wrapper until golden brown. 

Serve it with pickled cucumbers and carrot also a few chili peppers.
