In a large mixing bowl, blend all the roll items together, and let it marinate for at least 20 -30 minutes.
Wrap the roll by placing a piece of the beancurd skin of a flat surface. Wipe it with a damp cloth to soften it and place the filling in the middle.

Notes

Chef Notes:

Pork Mince - The quality and ratio of lean:fat makes a difference. If you want it really tender, add more fat (I know a little more unhealthy) but for me a 70 lean : 30 fat ratio makes it tender! Best cut would be a shank or some belly.
Marination Time - Let the roll mix marinade as long as possible. The flavour will mature if you've let it rested for longer.
Shallow Fry - The purpose of the shallow fry is to make the tofu skin crispy and not to cook the pork. So don't be alarmed if your pork is still raw in the center when it comes out of the wok.
Other Flavours - Play around with some flavours for the roll and sauce, you could replace the water chestnuts with some bamboo shoots, the five spice with cumin, pork with chicken or a combination of, add some shiitake mushrooms or even play around with different types of seafood? Scallops instead of prawns if your feeling rich?

Peached Fish Roll In Kombu Butter, Seaweed Tempura and Dashi Consommé

Dashi is probably one of the easiest and quickest stock to make. It is very flavourful and usually used as a base stock in Japanese cuisine. Peached Fish Roll In Kombu Butter, Seaweed Tempura and Dashi Consommé is a original recipe which I created when I decided to go for the cooking audition for Masterchef Singapore Season 2. It not only got me a white apron but also saved me from elimination. I hope to share this recipe with everyone out there and hope you guys will try making it at home.

Homemade Chee Cheong Fun

Chee Cheong Fun is the type of breakfast I grew up eating. Chee cheong fun comes in a few variations. Those you see in the hawker centres are typically plain (korsong) chee cheong fun that has no fillings and is served with some sweet sauce that is redish in color and has sesame seeds and oil sprinkle over it. Those you seen in the dim sum resturants usually comes with fillings sauce as shrimps or char siew and more. The base ingredients of the chee cheong fun (rice roll) is the same regardless you add fillings or not. So, why not have fun by making a few variety of chee cheong fun at home?
