Main Chinese Recipes Index

Ingredients:

  • 3 sheets dried bean curd
  • 3 sheets yakinori (roasted seaweed used in sushi rolls)
  • Seasoning:
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • a pinch MSG (if desired)
  • 3 cups water
  • Oil for frying

Preparation:

Heat water in the wok and add the remaining seasonings.  Bring to a boil. Lower heat.

Fold the bean curd sheets into 4 squares.  Boil the folded sheets in the heated water for 1 minute, using chopsticks to move the sheets around the boiling water as necessary. Drain.

In a baking tray, spread out the bean curd sheet and re-fold into a square. Place a square of seaweed on top, and fold into an oblong shape. 
In a wok or large skillet add oil.  Fry the bean curd rolls on high heat until both sides are golden brown, adding more oil as needed. Slice into 1 - 1 1/2 inch (3 - 4 centimeter) pieces before serving.
