  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • A pinch of salt
  • A pinch of ground pepper
  • A small amount of sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons water (adjust as needed)

• For the Filling:

  • 250 grams ground chicken
  • 2 eggs (one used in the wrapper, one for the filling)
  • 2 carrots, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder or finely chopped garlic
  • A pinch of salt
  • A pinch of ground pepper
  • A dash of oyster sauce
  • A small amount of sesame oil
  • A pinch of seasoning (optional)
  • 5 tablespoons cornstarch (or substitute with tapioca flour, slightly reduced)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Wrapper:

   • In a bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour in water until the mixture is slightly runny. Avoid making it too thick.
   • Add 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly until well combined.
   • Season with a pinch of salt and ground pepper.
   • Heat a non-stick pan (about 25 cm in diameter) and lightly grease it with a thin layer of oil.
   • Pour 1 ladle of the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly to form a thin layer.
   • Cook until the wrapper is set and lightly golden, then remove and let it cool on a plate.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the remaining egg white from making the wrapper.
   • Add the chopped carrots, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and optional seasoning. Mix well.
   • Stir in the cornstarch (or tapioca flour) until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened.

3. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

   • Lay out a sheet of aluminum foil. Place one cooked wrapper on top.
   • Evenly spread the chicken filling over the wrapper, making sure not to pile it in the center.
   • Fold in the sides of the wrapper and then roll it up tightly from the front, ensuring that the filling is enclosed.

4. Steam the Egg Rolls:

   • Wrap the rolled egg roll tightly in aluminum foil, sealing the edges to prevent any openings.
   • Steam the wrapped egg rolls for approximately 30 minutes, or until fully cooked through.

5. Finish and Serve:

   • Allow the egg rolls to cool slightly before unwrapping them.
   • Slice the egg rolls diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
   • For a closer match to Hokben’s style, coat the egg rolls in flour before frying them until crispy.
