THAI SCOTCH EGG
Thai Scotch Egg
Ingredients:
2 Part boiled eggs
225 gram Lean Mince pork
1 Fresh egg
1/2 Red chilli
1 clove Garlic
50 gram Red onion – chunkily chopped
50 gram Panko breadcrumb
25 gram White bread – cut in pieces
10 gram Flour
1 tsp Oyster sauce
1 tsp Fish sauce
1 tsp Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Thai red curry paste
Method
-Blend the red chilli, garlic, onion and bread in an electric blender until the mixture becomes fairly smooth. Set aside.
-Crack an egg in a shallow bowl and beat with a fork. Put the flour and panko breadcrumbs on separate plates.
-Mix the minced pork, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, Thai red curry paste, salt, the herbs mixture and half of the beaten egg into a large bowl. Use your hands to bind all the ingredients together.
-Lay the cling film (approx 30 cm*30 cm) on a flat surface. Use half of the mixture, squash and flatten the mixture on the cling film.
-Put the boiled egg in the middle, then use the cling film to help roll the mince around the egg to completely encase (repeat the same process with the other boiled egg).
-Remove the cling film, roll the encased egg on the flour then egg and lastly on panko breadcrumbs. Gently shape it into a round ball (repeat the same process with the other encased egg).
-Take the oil and heat it in a deep fat fryer to 180 degree Celsius and fry for approx 10-12 minutes.
-Enjoy Thai Scotch Egg with a leafy salad or save it for later. It’s all good.
Tips:
-How to boil an egg for the Scotch egg? I boiled the egg for about 7-8 minutes then remove the hot water quickly and put the egg in icy cold water. Gently remove the shell as soon as the egg is cooled down.
-Check Thai Scotch Egg with Fresh plum sauce if you haven’t got a deep fat fryer.
-I used Panko Breadcrumb this time. It is super light and extra crispy.
