The Australian Chiko Roll is a popular snack that has been enjoyed in Australia since the 1950s. Created by a migrant from Hungary, it was designed as a quick and easy snack that could be enjoyed on the go. The roll typically contains a mixture of meat, vegetables, and spices, all wrapped up in a crispy spring roll wrapper. While it is not the healthiest snack option out there, it certainly is a tasty one that has stood the test of time.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix together the prepared mutton strips, shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, finely sliced celery, and spring onions.
2.In a separate bowl, combine the cooked barley, cooked rice, grated lemon zest, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, five-spice powder, ground allspice, and grated ginger.
3.Add the barley and rice mixture to the beef and vegetable mixture, mixing well to combine.
4.In a small bowl, mix together the remaining soy sauce and sugar to create a dipping sauce.
5.Place a spoonful of the filling mixture onto each spring roll wrapper and roll tightly, sealing the ends with a mixture of maizena cornflour and hot water.
6.Heat the peanut oil in a pan to 375°F and fry the rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with the dipping sauce.
