Ingredients
- 300 g boneless chicken thigh cut into smaller pieces
- 300 g prawn meat cut roughly
- 180 g water chestnut skinned and submerge in water till it's ready to be used
- 1 small carrot skinned
- 1 stalk spring onion chopped
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 25 g garlic minced
- 2 tbsp tapioca four
- 4 tbsp rice flour
- 1/2 tsp five spice powder
- 1/2 tbsp fried sole fish blend into powder
- a dash of pepper
- 1 packet less salty bean curd sheet
- 1 egg beaten and split into 2 bowls. ½ egg for binding the meat, ½ egg for sealing the edges of the beancurb skin

Instructions
Prepare the meat filling
- In a Kenwood Multipro Compact food processor, attached the dough blade.
- Pour in chicken meat and prawn. Blend for 30 sec to mix the ingredients. #Tips: Do not over blend the ingredients so that you can enjoy the meat texture when eaten.
- Remove the lid, add in ½ egg, garlic, salt, fish powder, five spice powder, tapioca flour, rice flour and spring onion. Close the lid and blend for another 30 sec.
- Remove the blade from the food processor. Attached the shredding disc with the largest hole, shred carrot and water chestnut into the mixture. Remove the disc, use a spatula to give it a good mix. Set aside.
Wrap
- Cut beancurd sheet into smaller pcs about 8” x 5” rectangle.
- Clean the sheets with a damp cloth to remove the excess salt.
- Scoop 3 tbsp of the filling and line on beancurd sheet, leaving a 1 inch space on both ends of the beancurd sheet. Apply egg wash, roll up and ensure all sides are sealed. #Tips: Do not wrap it too tightly as the meat may expand while cooking and the beancurb skin will tear apart.
