Jemput-jemput Roti

Another way of using up old white bread or toast is to make this simple malay snack which is normally served with any chilli sauce.

Ingredients:
8 slices of white bread or toast
3 eggs
2 tbsp cornflour
1 cup (250 ml capacity) water
salt and pepper to taste

party gambas prawns or any other prawns
chopped spring onions or chopped onions
1 stalk of red chillie, to be finely chopped or sliced
oil for deep frying

Method:
Break up bread slices into a bowl and add water.  Leave aside for about 5 minutes.  By using a wooden spoon, mix thoroughly by making sure that the bread slices are all soaked through.

Add in eggs and stir well.  Then, add cornflour and season with salt & pepper to taste.  Mix thoroughly.  If the mixture is too wet, add a little cornflour and if the mixture is too dry, add a little water.

Add in chopped chillie and spring onions.  Mix well before adding the prawns.  Stir well.  Heat up oil in a wok over medium heat.  By using two tablespoons, spoon out a small portion of mixture and add to the hot oil.  Deep-fry until golden brown.  Remove by using tongs or slotted spoon to a tray which is lined with pergament paper.

Serve hot or cold with any chilli sauce.

Bon Appetit!
