Chinese Chicken Roulade with glutinous rice ham & mushroom

Golden Pillow - Deep fried Chicken Roudale with glutinous rice ham & mushroom

The moment i slice through the meat, I can hear the crisp sound!paper-thin skin! so excited! As I started to prepare this role from 9am until 1pm! so many hours of preparing, waiting and cooking. Anyway, I like this recipe, worth keeping it. The only thing i should do well is preparing the glutinous rice.. too long soaking hour, too much of water cooking. Original recipe calls for pork belly, i substituted with ham instead.

Basic ingredients - Dried shrimps, mushroom, ham, leek, minced garlic & ginger.

Stir Fry

Mix in the dry mixture into the cooked glutinous rice and stir well.

Deboned chicken leg.

Put some of the mixture, and wrap it with cling film. Make sure it is firm and tight.

Put the roll to steam for 15-20 mins. Let it completely before open the cling film.
