Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients
   Begin by gathering all the required ingredients. This step ensures that the cooking process is smooth and efficient.
2. Process the Chicken Mixture
   Place the boneless chicken thighs, egg whites, salt, sugar, chicken stock powder, and all seasoning mix into a food processor. Blend until smooth. Next, add tapioca flour and cooking oil, then continue blending until the mixture becomes completely soft and creamy.
3. Shape the Pepperoni
   Lay out plastic wrap (or baking paper/banana leaves) on a flat surface. Transfer the mixture onto it, then shape it into a log or cylindrical form. Roll tightly and secure both ends to create a neat pepperoni roll.
4. Steam the Roll
   Preheat a steamer, then place the wrapped chicken roll inside. Steam for 30 minutes until the mixture is fully cooked.
5. Reduce Moisture for Better Storage
   After steaming, remove the roll from the steamer and let it cool down. Peel off the wrapping carefully. To extend its shelf life, bake the pepperoni roll in the oven at 100°C for 20–30 minutes. This step helps reduce excess moisture.
6. Slice and Serve
   Once cooled, slice the chicken pepperoni thinly. It is now ready to be used as a topping for pizza, a filling for bread, or even as a flavorful ingredient in stir-fried dishes.
