Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add in the ground pork, shrimp, carrot, onion, garlic, five-spice powder, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well-incorporated.
Add in the diluted cornstarch to the ground pork mixture and stir until combined well.
On a flat workspace, arrange the bean curd sheet. Scoop a part of the mixture (about 4 tbsp) and spread on one side of the sheet, leaving about an inch of space at the edge.
Roll the sheet until a log shape is formed. Moisten the ends and twist the edges to tightly secure the kikiam.
Transfer and arrange the kikiam rolls into a steamer. Steam for 20 to 25 minutes or until the temperate reads about 60 C (140 F).
Remove from the steamer and set aside to cool. You can transfer the kikiam into the refrigerator to cool completely.
In a cooking pan, pour in and heat the cooking oil over medium heat.
Add in the steamed kikiam rolls. Cook while turning the sides as needed until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a serving plate or serving tray and slice into serving pieces. Serve and enjoy!
