With so many great recipes from other bloggers and recipe books, also my ever so long to do list, this stack of cut out most of the time untouched :) Not forever though
At times I still flip them through, especially when I need inspiration while doing my weekly plan of what to cook for the family. Yes, most of the time I plan ahead my family's meal :)
Ok, this great idea I found at the back of Kellog's corn flake box. I tried and yes it's good, real good :)
Another habit of mine - I always tick those recipes I've tried successfully LOL
What you need:
5 eggs (the picture shown in the cut out used quail eggs, I used normal eggs) - hardboiled, shells removed
200g chicken meat
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 shallots, chopped
1/2 tsp turmeric powder (original recipe used 3g turmeric root)
5g ginger
2 pcs kaffir lime leaves, sliced
2 red bird's eye chillies, sliced (I omitted)
1 stalk spring onion, chopped
1 red chilli, finely diced (I omitted)
1 tsp plain flour + more for coating
1/2 tsp salt
pinch of white pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
corn flakes, for coating, crushed
oil for deep frying
Method:
- In a food processor, process together the chicken, garlic, shallots, turmeric, ginger, kaffir lime leaves and chillies if using, until the meat develops a bounciness and elasticity
- Remove mixture into a bowl and stir in spring onion, plain flour, salt, pepper, combining everything thoroughly
- Wrap meat around whole de-shelled eggs
- Coat the eggs with the beaten egg, then flour, coat again with beaten egg, then coat with crushed corn flakes
- Deep fry the eggs til exterior is golden brown

Hi Alice,
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks delicious! The kids would surely go gaga over this, I myself would too!
I used to collect recipes from newspaper cuttings and magazines too, have stopped these long time ago, but I still have them, dating back more than 20 years ago! Reluctant to dispose of them!
Thanks for linking!
Hi Alice, I made scotch eggs with thai red curry paste once but coated with panko. I would like to do another one for LTU with salmon if I have the time. They're great, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteOh no, this is so special and am sure this very very yummy. Will try this soon. Thanks for sharing, Alice :)
ReplyDeleteYour Scotch eggs looks so special. I cook something like this before but using fish paste. Can't even finish an egg, just feel that the egg is too big to be eaten.
ReplyDeleteHi Alice, I love scotch eggs. Wanted to make it for LTU but run out of time/blog space for this month. :P Yours look so great and I love the spices that you added. Thanks for linking this to LTU!
ReplyDeleteNice to see another scotch egg submission :-) I'm sure this dish was a winner with your kids,esp with the cornflakes, right? Mmmm... yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Alice,
ReplyDeleteI'm also a recipes collector! Whenever I see recipes from magazines or newspapers or food packaging, I tends to stare at them :p
I usually find the food company recipes very reliable so that you will buy their products to cook more... I can imagine these scotch eggs must be very delicious.

Alice, love your scotch eggs! So lovely and brown and must be so delicious! I also like to collect recipes until it became so messy. So one day, while I was home sick, I sorted then out into clear folders. At least now it is more manageable.
ReplyDeleteYep, this looks delicious! I have made this with another version but did not take note of the ingredients, so I am not posting it.
ReplyDeleteNice dish, Alice!
ReplyDeletehahaha i am like you, but have since ceased this habit for my pile is stored inside a big Togoyo box and because of internet, I hardly touched those but yet unable to let go. haiz.
