Ingredients
ground beef
300g
bacon slices
4 large slices
quail eggs
5
soy sauce
1 tablespoon
cooking wine
1 teaspoon
cornstarch
1 tablespoon
minced ginger
1 teaspoon
salt
to taste
black pepper
a pinch
vegetable oil

Instructions
1
Mix the beef
Combine ground beef with soy sauce, cooking wine, cornstarch, ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well incorporated and the mixture holds together nicely.
2
Shape the meat layer
Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over a bamboo rolling mat. Spread the beef mixture evenly into a thin, rectangular layer about the size of your bacon slices. Carefully place the quail eggs in a line along one edge of the meat.
3
Create the first roll
Gently lift the plastic wrap and roll the meat around the eggs, using the mat to help tighten the roll. Set aside and repeat if making additional rolls.
4
Wrap with bacon
Lay another sheet of plastic wrap on the mat. Arrange bacon slices side by side, slightly overlapping. Place the meat roll seam-side down on top of the bacon. Roll everything together tightly, ensuring the bacon completely encases the meat.
5
Steam and finish
Steam the wrapped rolls for about 15 minutes until fully cooked through. For a crispy finish, pan-fry the rolls in a little oil until the bacon turns golden and caramelized. Slice into rounds and serve warm.
