Mab Made Food: Recipes, Lunches, & Weekly Menu Plans
Recipe: Nkoko Rolex (Chicken Rolled Egg Bread)
This is a very popular kind of Ugandan street food which is called a rolex because it’s portmanteau of “rolled eggs”. These can basically have anything your heart desires as long as you have a chapati (which is made from plain flour in Uganda) or other flatbread as the base and then a thin omelette on top of that. Play around with the vegetables and even add cheese or sauces to your taste. This is a great lunch food because it’s quick and easy and can be made out of leftover odds and ends.
