Fiadu — Print Recipe — The Culinary Codex

Seasoned ground beef wrapped in a thin layer of egg and pan-fried until golden, a beloved Surinamese-Javanese appetizer and snack.

Ingredients

1 Mix ground beef with garlic, onion, coriander, cumin, nutmeg, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar until well combined.
2 Make thin egg crepes by pouring beaten egg into a lightly oiled non-stick skillet, swirling to cover the bottom thinly.
3 Place a line of seasoned beef mixture along one edge of each egg crepe. Roll up tightly into a log shape.
4 Steam the rolls for fifteen minutes until the beef is cooked through. Let cool slightly, then slice on the diagonal.
5 Optionally pan-fry the sliced rolls until golden on the cut sides for extra crispiness before serving.
