Five-Spice Meat Roll 五香春卷 - Repost with English Recipe

English recipe is added upon reader's request. Scroll down for it.

这是去年过年期间学做的五香春卷(简称“五香”)。五香春卷是每年过年家里必备的年菜,妈妈会做多一些收在冰箱里,要吃时拿出来炸就行了。

妈妈做的五香春卷是真材实料(妈妈会加入很多虾肉或鱼肉,有时也会加芋头,加入芋头的五香别有一番风味),但是所有材料都是agak-agak(大概估计)的,没有所谓的食谱,那我也自己agak-agak,不过我尽量记录下每样材料的份量,那么下次再做时就能有个根据。

对第一做的成果感到相当满意,五香的口感很好,咸度也刚刚好。唯一我想改善的地方是肉可以再松软点(我不喜欢包得太实的五香),下次做我会减少面粉的分量看看。

材料:
猪绞肉 500g
虾肉 250g (剁碎)
马蹄 8 - 9 粒(切小颗粒,约1碗)(我不喜欢切得太碎)
小葱 3粒(约50g,切碎)
鸡蛋 1粒 (略打散)
面包糠 100g (或用打碎的梳打饼)
五香粉 2茶匙
胡椒粉 1茶匙
糖 1茶匙
酱油(酱青) 1茶匙
盐 1 ½ 茶匙
面粉 3汤匙
腐皮 1张(减小片)

做法:
1)混合以上所有材料,搅拌均匀。
2)腐皮用干净的湿布来回抹几次,加入陷料卷起。
3)大火蒸约15分钟(如果比较大卷要蒸多5分钟),要吃时再煎炸。

小小心得/建议:
1)用湿布抹腐皮是要去除咸味,这个动作一定要记得,不然咸死你。还有,腐皮是很脆弱的,擦时要温柔点,避免擦破。
2)以上材料可以做13条小卷的五香。个人比较喜欢吃小卷的五香,因为喜欢吃多点腐皮,腐皮炸好后脆脆的很好吃。

Ingredients:
500g minced pork
250g minced shrimp
8 - 9 water chestnuts (cut into small cubes)
3 shallots (about 50g, chopped)
1 egg (lightly beaten)
100g breadcrumbs or soda biscuit (crushed)
2 tsp five-spice powder
1 tsp white ground pepper
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp light soy sauce
1 ½ tsp salt
3 tbsp plain flour
1 bean curd skin (cut into small pieces)

Method:
1) Combine all ingredients except bean curd skin, mix well.
2) Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the bean curd skin for a few times (this is a very important step; the purpose is to reduce the saltiness of the bean curd skin). Add some fillings on the bean curd skin and roll it up.
3) Steam over high heat for about 15 mins (depends on the size of the meat roll, steam longer time for thicker roll). Let cool, deep fry or pan fry until golden brown, serve.

Note:
1) The above recipe yielded 13 small rolls as shown in the picture.
2) Keep extra steamed meat roll in fridge, fry and serve when desired.

  12. Hi,
    May I know what breadcrumbs do you use for this recipe?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Hi Anonymous,

    The breadcrumbs I used is normal breadcrumbs used for making cutlet. Can be found in supermarket. Alternatively, you can use crushed soda biscuit.

  14. Thanks for your prompt reply. So the breadcrumbs are dried ones and not fresh breadcrumbs?
