Tips for Success

Ingredient processing needs to be meticulous

The pork belly should be minced extremely finely. Only in this way can the pork belly have a smooth and tender taste.

Carrots and green bell peppers should also be cut into small particles to facilitate mixing with the meat filling and improve the overall taste and nutrition.

Seasoning should be accurate

When making the meat filling, the ratio of salt, light soy sauce and cooking wine should be moderate. It should highlight the deliciousness of the meat filling, but it should not be too salty.

Adding a little egg white can make the meat filling more tender and smooth and increase the delicacy of the taste.

The egg skin should be fried just right

When frying the egg skin, fry it slowly over low heat to ensure that the egg liquid is evenly heated to form a golden egg skin.

During the process of frying the egg skin, do not turn it over in a hurry. Wait until one side is completely formed before turning over and frying the other side to ensure the integrity and taste of the egg skin.

The spread of meat filling should be uniform

When spreading the meat filling, make sure that the meat filling is evenly distributed on the egg skin. It should not be too thick or too thin.

If the part is too thick, it may not be easy to steam thoroughly and affect the taste; if it is too thin, it may cause the egg skin to break and affect the overall beauty.

The steaming time should be moderate

The steaming time for steaming in water should be well controlled. Usually about 10 minutes is appropriate.

If the steaming time is too long, it may cause the meat filling to be too old and the taste to be dry; if the time is too short, it may cause the meat filling to not be completely cooked through, affecting food safety.

Cutting should be neat

The steamed egg roll should be cooled to room temperature before cutting. In this way, the cut pieces will be more neat and beautiful.

When cutting, the cutting tool should be kept sharp to ensure a flat and non-sticky cut.

Made the Golden Lucky Pork Rolls for a weekend brunch and it was a huge success! The first bite was pure bliss. The contrast between the soft pork and the crunchy exterior was amazing. I used a different type of cheese in the filling for a cheesy twist and it worked wonders. The recipe was straightforward and easy to follow, even for someone with limited cooking skills like me. My kids loved them so much that they begged me to make them again soon.
