Mutton Roujiamo is a delightful Chinese street food featuring tender, spiced mutton stuffed within a crispy, flaky bun. This Halal version captures the authentic flavors while ensuring a satisfying meal for all to enjoy.

Ingredients

• Mutton shoulder - 250 grams, minced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Coriander - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Flour - 200 grams
• Water - 100 ml
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced mutton, garlic, ginger, onion, coriander, cumin powder, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water while kneading until a soft dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc shape (about 10 cm in diameter).
4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the marinated mutton mixture, breaking it apart, until fully cooked (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat.
5. Take one disc of dough, place a generous amount of the cooked mutton mixture in the center, then fold the edges over to seal. Flatten gently to form a patty.
6. In the same skillet, heat more oil over medium heat. Fry each mutton-filled patty until golden brown and crispy on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
7. Serve hot, sliced in half, and enjoy your homemade Mutton Roujiamo!
