Method
- Fry the finely chopped onion. When it softens, add the meat with sweet spice and seven-spice blend, and mix well..
- Add the peas and stir...
- Then it's time for the long-grain rice... (for every 1 cup of rice, we will need 2 cups of water)
- Leave the meat and rice mixture over low heat until the rice is cooked and the water has completely evaporated.
- Start preparing the rolled bread (saj bread)... cut the bread and place each large square of bread inside a round cup, then add nuts and meat or boiled chicken cut into large pieces, then add the cooked rice
- and press it down with your hand. Wrap the bread and close it, then turn the osei bundle out of the cup into a baking tray greased with butter... place the tray in the oven from the bottom, then from the top, until the osei bundle or ball is nicely browned on both sides...
