Instructions
Step 1
Wash the flatfish fillets and slice them into pieces 5 cm long, 3 cm wide, and 0.3 cm thick, making 12 slices in total. Lay each slice flat on a cutting board, sprinkle with fine salt and Shaoxing wine, and marinate.
Step 2
Cut the shiitake mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, ham, and cooked chicken into 3.5 cm fine shreds. Place them in a bowl, add fine salt, Shaoxing wine, and sesame oil, and mix well to make the filling. Set aside.
Step 3
Crack eggs into a bowl, add flour, baking powder, and water, and mix into an egg batter. Evenly wrap the filling inside each fish slice and roll into 12 fish rolls about 3 cm long and 1 cm in diameter.
Step 4
Add peanut oil to a wok and heat over medium flame until it reaches about 60% hot (~150°C). Coat the fish rolls thoroughly with the egg batter and fry in the oil until cooked through and golden. Remove, arrange on a serving plate, and serve with a small dish of Sichuan pepper salt on the side.
