Australian Chiko Rolls Recipe for 4 People

Ingredients:

• 400g (14 oz) lean ground beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 carrots, grated
• 1/2 cup cabbage, finely shredded
• 1/2 cup green beans, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon tomato sauce (ketchup)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 sheets spring roll pastry
• Vegetable oil, for deep frying
• Tomato sauce (ketchup), for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned.
   • Add chopped onion and cook until softened.
   • Stir in grated carrots, shredded cabbage, sliced green beans, and frozen peas.
   • Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Roll the Chiko Rolls:
   • Lay out a sheet of spring roll pastry on a clean surface.
   • Spoon some of the filling onto one end of the pastry sheet.
   • Fold the sides over the filling and roll up tightly to enclose the filling.
   • Seal the edge with a little water to secure the roll.
   • Repeat with the remaining pastry sheets and filling.
3. Fry the Chiko Rolls:
   • Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F).
   • Carefully lower the chiko rolls into the hot oil in batches.
   • Fry for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
   • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the hot chiko rolls with tomato sauce (ketchup) on the side for dipping.

Optional:

• You can customize the filling by adding other vegetables like corn, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
• For a healthier option, you can bake the chiko rolls in the oven instead of frying them.
