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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
