Minced Chicken and Chilli Scrolls
Inspired by the bustling streets of Southeast Asia, Minced Chicken and Chilli Scrolls bring together the heat of chilies and the savory charm of minced chicken, all wrapped in a golden, flaky pastry. Ideal for both appetizers and light snacks, these scrolls capture the essence of Asian zest while offering a modern twist to traditional rolls.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil - Extra virgin is preferred for its flavor
250 grams ground chicken (minced chicken) - Preferably free-range for better taste
1 large onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 tablespoon ginger - grated fresh
1 tablespoon soy sauce - low sodium
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon chili flakes - adjust to taste- 1 sheet puff pastry - store-bought or homemade, thawed if frozen
1 large egg - beaten for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger, continuing to sauté until the mixture is golden and aromatic.
- Stir in the minced chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chili flakes, mixing well. Let simmer for another 2 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and spread the chicken mixture evenly over it, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
- Roll the pastry into a tight log, sealing the edges with a bit of the beaten egg. Slice into 1-inch thick rounds.
- Place the scrolls on the prepared baking tray, brush with the remaining egg wash, and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
Notes
To enhance the heat, add a finely chopped fresh red chili to the chicken filling. To make it milder, reduce the amount of chili flakes. These scrolls can be prepared and rolled a day ahead, stored in the fridge, and baked fresh before serving.
