Seriously... how did RISOLES come to be? Our theory is, it was brought to Indonesia by the colonial Dutch who ruled Indonesia for over some 300 years until the 1940s. Although what is interesting, the Indonesian version uses this cool super thin skin pretty similar to French crepe. You find Indonesian risoles filled with anything from ham and cheese, beef, curry flavored chicken, or... obviously- our favorite: the ever-so-delicious creamy chicken ragout! It is then breaded and deep fried until the outer skin is golden brown and crispy while the ragout inside stays soft and creamy. Oddly, this delightful European influenced snack is typically served with bird’s eye chili pepper. Listen up, people... here's fact #1: Most People Do Not Make Risoles At Home. So yeah, why in the world would you spend most of your afternoon laboring in the kitchen covered in flour and grease? On top of everything, it is also way too intimidating to make. Hence, we strongly suggest that you order some... pronto!
