Ingredients

Garlic Soy Sauce

  • 5-6 garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
  • 200 ml water
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Rice Noodle Roll

  • 120 g rice flour
  • 25 g or 1 tablespoon wheat starch (can be replaced with sweet potato starch)
  • 380 ml water
  • 100 g minced beef or pork
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1 green onion chopped finely
  • 1 tablespoon cooking wine
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce

Instructions

How to Make the Garlic Soy Sauce

  • Mince the garlic cloves, or chop very finely.
  • Measure the two teaspoons of cornstarch in a small bowl and add 200 ml water, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir well to combine.
  • Add the oil to the wok and sauté the garlic until golden yellow. Add the cornstarch mixture from Step 2 and simmer until it is clear.

How to Make the Rice Noodle Roll

  • Combine the sticky rice flour, wheat starch, and water in a bowl and mix well.
  • In another bowl, combine the cooking wine, soy sauce and minced meat and mix well.
    Have all the ingredients and utensils ready to go.
  • Brush a flat-bottomed heatproof dish with a thin layer of oil, and scatter a small amount of the meat mixture over the oil. Pour a few spoonfuls of the rice flour slurry onto the plate, just enough to cover the whole surface. On top of this, add half a beaten egg and a small amount of chopped green onion, continually shaking the dish to spread the slurry over its entire surface.
  • Add the 100 ml of water to a pan large enough for the dish to sit in without touching the sides. Bring the water to the boil.
    Place your steamer tray into the pan and sit the flat dish on top of it. Steam for three minutes, until the rice noodle forms large bubbles, as shown in the picture below.
  • Using your scraper, scrape the rice noodle up into a roll and then cut into 4-5 pieces.
    Pour the garlic soy sauce over and serve with steamed lettuce for a well balanced meal.
