Chiko Roll
The Chiko Roll is an Australian savoury snack, inspired by the Chinese egg roll and spring rolls. It was designed to be easily eaten on the move without a plate or cutlery.
Ingredients - Serves 4

Let's Get Started
- In a large pan, cook the cabbage, carrot, onion, green beans, and beef until the vegetables are soft and the beef is browned.
- Add the barley and chicken stock to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the barley is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Place a spoonful of the filling on each egg roll wrapper. Roll up, tucking in the ends to seal the filling inside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the Chiko Rolls in batches until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
