My version of Martabak Telor

Martabak Telor is a pretty fattening Indonesian snack that is sold on the streets. It's basically a pastry filled with minced meat and then fried in some oil till crispy and golden. A bit like the Indian Murtabak, whereby they put a filling like curry or sardines inside a prata. Our version tho is served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce with pickled cucumber/carrots,  rather than curry sauce.

I honestly don't know how that pastry is made but the way I make it at home - and also a healthier version - is by using ready made frozen spring roll skins. Simply mix some minced meat with some diced french beans (string beans), add some garlic, seasoning and 1-2 eggs depending on how much mixture you have. Then lay out your skin and spoon a generous amount of the mixture. To ensure a crispy exterior, I wrapped the whole thing in another piece of spring roll skin. This is also so the fillings don't ooze out. The mixture will actually seep through the first layer of spring roll skin so the next layer of skin will easily adhere to the first layer. Once you've done that, just heat up some oil in a skillet pan and pan fry them until crispy. You don't really need a lot of oil. Once golden and crispy, take them out and chop them into squares. To make the dipping sauce, mix sugar, rice vinegar and soy sauce with water till you get a sweet salty sour flavour.

Tip: If you have left over spring roll skin, wrap it tightly with cling wrap and refreeze for later use.
