Ok, so it doesn't have chicken, but who cares, it's still called the fried chicken roll. This is a great Chinese dish. It's easy to make, great taste and hearty.
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb finely chopped fish cake (you can use fish paste, but I prefer the chopped cake. Pick this up at an Asian supermarket like 99 You can try different brands/types, it's up to you.)
1 small carrot, diced finely
1 small onion, diced finely
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp cooking wine
1tsp sesame oil
1/3 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Combine everything in a large bowl and mix thoroughly by hand. Then, get large seaweed and/or large dry tofu sheets (if you use tofu sheets, you will need to cover them with a wet towel for a few minutes until the soften up enough to roll without breaking).
Place a fair amount of mix into the sheet and roll (like you are rolling a cigar). Make sure to tuck in the ends, or the mix will explode out the side when it's cooked.
Once you have all the rolls ready to...roll, add some oil to a heavy pan and heat to medium. When it's hot, place the rolls in and fry for about 4 minutes on medium, then turn up the heat to high and fry another minute or two. roll them continuously so they don't overcook one side. When they're crispy, they're done.
Take them out of the pan and slice. Serve with Ketchup.
