How to make Chiko Roll
Preparation
Preheat the oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 180°C.
In a large bowl, combine the beef mince, cabbage, carrot, onion, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Mix well.
Place a tablespoon of the filling mixture onto one end of the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Brush the edges with a little water and fold the pastry over the filling to form a cylindrical shape. Press the edges together to seal the roll.
Cooking
Fry the Chiko Rolls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve hot and enjoy.
Tips & Tricks
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.

FAQS
How do I make Chiko Rolls crispy when frying?
To achieve crispy Chiko Rolls, ensure that the oil is preheated to 180°C before frying. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature. Fry each roll for about 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown.
Can I make Chiko Rolls vegetarian or vegan?
Yes, you can easily make Chiko Rolls vegetarian or vegan by substituting the beef mince with a plant-based alternative, such as lentils or mushrooms. Additionally, use vegetable broth instead of oyster sauce and ensure that the puff pastry is vegan-friendly.
What are some good storage tips for leftover Chiko Rolls?
To store leftover Chiko Rolls, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil before placing them in a freezer bag.
What can I serve with Chiko Rolls for a complete meal?
Chiko Rolls pair well with a variety of sides. Consider serving them with a fresh salad, dipping sauces like sweet chili or soy sauce, or even some steamed rice for a more filling meal. You can also add some pickled vegetables for a nice crunch.
What can I use instead of puff pastry for Chiko Rolls?
If you don't have puff pastry, you can use spring roll wrappers or even homemade dough. Alternatively, phyllo pastry can work, though it will yield a different texture. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure they are cooked through.
