Golden Buddha's Hand Pork Rolls (Fish-Fragrant Sauce)

Ingredients

Pork (finely chopped) 250 g
Eggs (beaten for egg wrapper) 4
Water chestnuts (washed, peeled, finely chopped) 75 g
Salt 3 g
White pepper 2 g
MSG (monosodium glutamate) 1 g
Egg cornstarch paste (for mixing filling and brushing egg wrapper) 35 g
Scallions (chopped into rings) 10 g
Ginger (minced) 10 g
Oil (for deep-frying) 500 g
Pickled chili peppers (shredded and stir-fried) 10 g
Soy sauce 15 g
Vinegar 10 g
Sugar 20 g

Instructions

1

Make the Filling

Wash and peel the water chestnuts, then finely chop them together with the pork. Place in a bowl and add the salt, white pepper, MSG, egg cornstarch paste, chopped scallions, and minced ginger. Mix well to form the filling.

2

Wrap and Shape

Beat the eggs and pour into a preheated pan to form a thin egg wrapper. Lay the egg wrapper flat on a cutting board, brush with egg white cornstarch paste, place the filling in the center, then roll it into a rectangle about 5 cm wide and 0.7 cm thick. Cut into 'Buddha's hand' shapes with a knife.

3

Deep-Fry

Place a wok over high heat, add the oil and bring it to about 150°C. Carefully lower the Buddha's hand rolls into the oil and fry until cooked through and golden yellow, then remove and arrange on a serving plate.

4

Make the Sauce

Heat a little oil in the pan, add the shredded pickled chilies and stir-fry until fragrant and cooked. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar to create a fish-fragrant sauce. Pour the sauce over the Buddha's hand rolls and serve.
