Instructions
Prepare the meat filling
  1. In a Kenwood Multipro Compact food processor, attached the dough blade.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  1. Cut beancurd sheet into smaller pcs about 8” x 5” rectangle.
  2. Clean the sheets with a damp cloth to remove the excess salt.
  3. 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.
