Instructions

1

Prep and Cut

Cut the pork tenderloin into 5 cm long, 0.3 cm thick strips and set aside; shred the shepherd's purse, winter bamboo shoots, winter mushrooms, and wood ear mushrooms separately and set aside.

2

Make Egg Wrappers

Crack the eggs into a bowl, add refined salt, wet starch, and clear broth, stir well. Cook the mixture in a pan to make 3 egg wrappers, then cut each wrapper into 7 equal pieces.

3

Prepare Fermented Batter

Mix all-purpose flour and old yeast dough with water, stir well, then add rendered lard and edible alkali to make a fermented batter.

4

Stir-fry Filling

Add rendered lard to a wok, heat over medium-high heat to 50% hot (110°C). Add shredded scallion, shredded ginger, pork strips, shredded winter bamboo shoots, shepherd's purse, shredded winter mushrooms, shredded wood ear mushrooms, and soy sauce, stir-fry briefly. Then add clear broth, refined salt, and MSG, bring to a boil, thicken with wet starch, add sesame oil, and remove from heat to use as filling.

5

Roll and Seal

Divide the cooked filling evenly onto the 21 pieces of egg wrapper, roll each one into a roll the thickness of an index finger, and seal the edges with the fermented batter.

6

Deep Fry

Add rendered lard to the wok, heat to 80% hot (about 176°C). Dip each egg roll into the fermented batter, then fry in the oil until golden brown. Remove and place on a plate, serve with pepper salt on the side.
