When I was kid, I liked to eat bean
curd meat rolls which my late mom always just used ground meat as filling
without any seasoning with the filling. Wrapping, rolling, and frying until
crisp. Then braised it with bean paste sauce.
I discovered that these bean curd
rolls are a typical dim sum restaurant appetizer when I first started working.
Additionally, the fillings can be prepared in a variety of methods and contain
a variety of components. It can be added to vegetable soups, stews, skewers,
spaghetti, and other dishes.
Today, I'll show you how to make them at home easily and cook them using my own version on the sweet-and-sour flavour with sour plum sauce. It's sweet and sour, just like sweet and sour pork ribs, but this sour plum sauce smells especially like green plums, so you won't feel tired after eating too much.
Bean curd sheets are made from
soy beans. Some are salty. Some is 0 mg of sodium. If you are using salty type
of bean curd sheet, use a clean cloth to wipe off any extra salt. My bean curd
sheet comes in a large sheet, so I cut it into the size of 6” x 8”.
Put a proper amount of fillings into
each piece of bean curd and wrap and roll it into a rectangular shape. Fry the
bean curd rolls until golden brown. Naturally, you can enjoy these crispy bean
curd rolls with your preferred dipping sauce right immediately. But with a
little more effort, your bean curd rolls smell like plums and are wonderful,
appealing, and non-greasy. They have a hint of sweetness and sourness as well.
It must not be missed by anyone

and right side of the bean curd sheet. Brush some water on the top edges of the
bean curd sheet. Roll up to seal it. Repeat the same until all complete.
4. Heat some cooking oil in a large
wok over medium high heat. Add the bean curd rolls in a single layer and fry it
for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain them.
