Beef Begedil

Salam and hi everyone,

There had been no update for almost 2 weeks 'cause I was fully occupied with my research proposal write-up which is to be seen by my supervisor when the new semester starts. Since there is only 2 weeks away before my final semester starts, hence, by hook or by crook I really need to do something about it. But still, it's not 100% complete yet!

Let's just stop talking bout academic. Because what I'd like to share today is obviously tastier than it ;) Actually, I prepared this beef begedil last week but only today I got the opportunity to make a post about it. Beef begedil is best served with soto and rice, but of course you can always eat it on its own. Here goes the recipe :

Serving size : 2-3 persons

Ingredients :

2 handfuls of minced meat

3-4 medium-sized potatoes

2 sticks of celery (finely chopped)

4 tbsp of fried onions

1/2 teaspoon of white pepper

Salt (up to taste)

1 egg (stirred)

Cooking oil for frying

Method :

1) Slice the potatoes and fry them in a heated frying pan. (this is to make sure that the begedil you'll make later on will hold it's shape while being fried)

2) Pound the fried potatoes until they become smooth.

3) Add minced meat, fried onions, chopped celeries, white pepper and salt together with the pounded potatoes. Stir them well.

4) Shape the mixture into balls.

5) Heat up a saucepan and pour in the cooking oil. Make sure the oil is well-heated before frying the begedil.

6) Dip the begedil into the stirred egg and fry them well. The egg should help to hold the shape of your begedil.

Happy frying!
