Directions:
Egg Skin: Combine
ingredients, strain, and then fry, over a low
fire, into about 30 thin, round pancake-like
skins.
Heat a frying pan until very hot,
fry the bean curd cakes, remove, and then fry
the garlic for garnishing. Remove.
Filling: With 6 tbsp oil,
stir-fry, over a low fire, the 10 cloves pounded
garlic. Add in the taucheo, sprinkle with water,
and then, over a high fire, add in the prawns
and then the pork. After a few minutes, add the
sweet turnip, bamboo shoots, 1 tbsp dark soy
sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tbsp salt. fry well
and then add the tau kua. bring to boil and then
simmer until almost dry.
To Serve: Place all the garnishes
and the egg skin on separate serving dishes. The
traditional way of serving the filling is to
invert a small bowl in a larger serving bowl,
and then place the filling mixture on top. This
will allow the excess liquid to drain off.
To Roll : Place an egg skin on a
plate, and then spread on the ingredients in
this order: pounded chili, raw pounded garlic,
black timcheong, lettuce, bean sprouts,
cucumber, filling, lap cheong, prawns, crab,
eggs, fried garlic, and then the wanswee. Roll
in the same manner as a spring roll or rissole
and then cut.
