Ingredient Preparation
Devein the prawns, remove the tendons, wash them clean, and butterfly them open along the back. Slice the chicken tenderloin and sea cucumber into 0.2 cm thick pieces, and cut the water chestnuts and ham into slices. Blanch the sea cucumber slices briefly in a pot of boiling water, then remove and drain.
Mixing the Filling
Place all the prepared ingredients in a bowl, add the fine salt, MSG, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, ground white pepper, and sesame oil, and mix well to form a filling.
Preparing the Batter
Put the egg whites in a bowl, add wet starch and stir until smooth to make an egg-white batter; set aside.
Shaping and Steaming
Cut the pork caul fat into 12 cm squares and lay them flat. Spread a thin layer of the egg-white batter on each square, place one portion of filling in the center, and roll into a cylinder about 1.5 cm in diameter and 3.5 cm long. Steam over high heat until cooked through, then remove and drain off any liquid.
Coating and Deep-Frying
Coat each roll all over with the egg-white batter, then roll in a layer of sesame seeds. Deep-fry in oil heated to about 125°C (roughly medium heat) until the sesame seeds turn golden yellow, then remove and arrange the rolls neatly on a plate to serve.
