Also make thsi for my veggie friend .....getting her used to the sounds of meat dishes......hahahahaha Ingredients:
2 ounces (3 sheets) dried bean curd |
3 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon fennel seeds |
1/2 star anise |
2 whole cloves, crushed |
1/2 teaspoon szechuan peppercorns, crushed |
Directions:
1. Soak bean curd in water to cover about 1/2 hour until soft. Mix together remaining ingredients, then marinate the softened bean curd sheets in this mixture about 2 hours.
2. Select the largest and smoothest sheet and lay it on a flat surface.
3. Place the remaining sheets on it evenly, so that when rolled it will form a cylinder of regular dimensions.
4. Roll it up VERY tightly. Place it on a single piece of cheesecloth or old sheet and roll it up with the cloth overhanging at both ends.
5. Tie the bundle like a toy firecracker at both ends where the bean curd ends.
6. Place in a steamer and steam about 1 hour. (Check to make sure the water does not boil away.)
7. Cool the roll and unwrap it.
8. Cut into 1/4-inch slices.
9. Serve cold.
10. Makes 1 appetizer roll
