Recipe for Ngoh Hiang:
- 1 kg minced pork (used 腿肉 here)
- 600g prawns, peeled and deviened
- 3 chinese leeks, white parts only
- about 12 shallots
- about 12 water chestnuts, cleaned thoroughly and peeled
- 2 heaping tablespoons cornflour
- 1 egg
- salt, pepper, five spice powder, light soy sauce, to taste
- 1 1/2 large beancurd skin, wiped with a damp cloth to remove excess salt
Finely chop all ingredients (spare the beancurd skin and egg of course!) and combine in a bowl. Add egg, cornflour and seasonings. Mix well by hand. Wrap in rectangular sheets of beancurd skin (roll ~3 rounds). Steam 15 mins. Freeze for later use.
To eat, deep fry or bake in oven (drizzle with oil) until skin turns golden brown.
