Roast Pork Roll


Made this savoury 'Roast Pork Roll' for dinner recently.  I can also call it a meat loaf as basically this is a loaf or roll of bread  with meat.  The only difference is that the filling is of Chinese style roast pork aka 'siew yoke'.













'Meat loaf' with an oriental touch.  Pair it with some piping hot tea, ideal for a light dinner.

Ingredients
  • 350 gm high protein flour
  • 1/4  tsp salt
  • 15 gm skimmed milk powder
  • 50 gm caster sugar
  • 25 gm butter/margarine
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1.1/2  tsp dried yeast
  • 150 ml lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Sesame seeds  (optional)
  • 1 egg yolk + 1 tsp water + a pinch of salt to glaze
Filling
  • 150 gm roast pork, diced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • Oil for frying
  • Some light soya sauce and sugar to taste
Lightly pan fry the above and let cool before using.

Method
  1. Combine lukewarm water with yeast, sprinkle in the sugar, stir till dissolved.  Let rest for 10 mins for it to ferment.
  2. Sift flour with salt, mix in milk powder and sugar.  Mix with the dough hook for about 10 to 20 seconds.
  3. Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the dry flour mixture, add in the egg and butter.
  4. Beat on slow for about 10 to 15 mins. till a pliable dough is formed and the dough leaves the sides of the bowl.
  5. Remove the dough hook, cover the mixing bowl with a damp cloth and let it prove for about 1 hour in a warm place till double in bulk.
  6. Dough is ready for shaping when an indentation is left after pressing with a finger.  Place dough on a lightly floured surface, give it a gentle knock to expel some air.
  7. Roll out into an oblong and put the meat filling on the upper end of the dough, roll up, make some slits on the dough and continue to roll up the dough.  Place the roll onto a paper lined baking tray.   (Refer to the pictures above).
  8. Cover with a damp cloth and let prove for about 30 mins.
  9. Apply egg glaze, sprinkle on some sesame seeds.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg C for about 15 to 20 mins. or till golden brown.
  11. Let cool on wire rack.

    Cheah, your roast pork filling looks so mouthwatering. Are you bringing this to attend the praying at your encestors' grave yard? It's 'qing ming' already. I have already done mine last weekend. No more climbing! haha...
    Good night.

    Thanks. Look forward to your posts on bread!

    Jeannie
    Yes, I agree. First time I made this, afraid filling will spill out. Can have extra siew yoke on the side.

    Lena
    Thanks. Remember we used to sandwich bread with roast pork when we were young.

    Now, I'm figuring what other savoury filling to go with bread!

    Momsie, you're also an expert on breadmaking especially using the water roux method which I've yet to master!

    Kristy
    No, we go vegetarian when we perform 'Qing Ming'. To avoid the crowd we normally do that the weekend after the actual date. No 'pantang' as far as we're concerned.

    Yes, you can use the breadmaker to make dough using the dough cycle. Have not tried the above recipe with my breadmaker. I made these Chelsea Buns using the breadmaker to make the dough. Check it out here :-

Durian Butter Cake ~ 榴莲牛油蛋糕

  It's the durian season again and I'm sharing with you a simple yet fragrant Durian Butter Cake.  This recipe does not use the traditional butter totally, in fact there is oil too.  Liquid oil tends to make the cake softer and stays moist longer as it does not solidify at room temperature.  This cake is soft and moist with a tinge of durian flavour and aroma.  A breakfast or Tea time snack for those who love durian. Durian Butter Cake ~  榴莲牛油蛋糕 Ingredients 150 gm unsalted butter 190 gm plain flour 2 tsp baking powder 30 ml vegetable oil 85 gm caster sugar 3 'L' eggs 130 gm pureed durian flesh 4 Tbsp milk a pinch of salt 1/4 teaspoon vanilla Method Sift flour with baking powder and salt.  Set aside. Beat butter with sugar till well blended, add in oil and continue beating till pale and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time, mix well. Add in pureed durian flesh, mix till well incorporated. Sift in again the sifted flour in 2 batches, alternating with the milk.  Fold in till

Chicken Floss Cake ~ 鸡肉松蛋糕

It's normal to find buns coated with meat floss in any bakery, but yet to find a meat floss coated piece of cake.  I saw this Chicken Floss Cake on youtube and was eager to give this a shot.  The recipe is quite similar to a chiffon cake and I was curious to find out the taste which should be slightly sweetish and saltish.  Wouldn't it be weird, I wonder.  But it turned out that the taste is rather unique with a light and soft texture and my family members gave me a thumbs up and asked for more! Chicken Floss Cake ~  鸡肉松蛋糕           Ingredients (A) 4 egg yolks 40 ml oil 50 ml milk 65 gm plain flour, sifted Chicken floss White sesame seeds Chopped spring onions (optional) a pinch of salt (B)  4 egg whites        40 gm caster sugar Method In a bowl, beat egg yolks, add in oil, mix well, then add in milk. Mix in sifted flour till well combined. In another clean bowl, beat egg whites till frothy, then add in sugar in 2 batches and beat til

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.
