Ingredients
- 500 g (1.1 lbs) ground pork
- 300 g (10.5 oz) shrimp, minced
- 1 pc onion, chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pc large-sized carrot, chopped
- 1 tbsp five-spice powder (ngo hiong)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch, diluted in 2 tbsp water
- 4 pcs bean curd sheets
- 1 ½ cup cooking oil, for frying
- salt and pepper, to taste
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!
