Mix 3 kilograms of ground beef with 200 grams of sujuk spice mix and 3-4 crushed garlic cloves in a large steel tray.

Knead the mixture for about 10 minutes and refrigerate overnight.

Use a pipe-like apparatus attached to a meat grinder to stuff the mixture into wetted intestines.

Tie the ends of the stuffed intestines and hang them to air dry for 2 days in a cool place, avoiding sunlight.

Slice the dried sujuk and prepare a toast with hot ketchup and mayonnaise spread on white bread.

Fry the sliced sujuk until slightly crispy, then add cheddar and mozzarella cheese to the bread and melt the cheese.

Stir-fry additional sujuk with eggs, keeping the yolk slightly runny.
