Penang Style Meat Rolls [Lor Bak]

Penang Lor Bak [meat rolls] is different from other areas.  It can be different on the island and the mainland. My mum makes meat rolls which are different from her sisters living in Bukit Mertajam and Perak.

My recipe here can be considered as authentic Penang Lor Bak [see earlier post for recipe]. It's a must have dish for my family during Chinese New Year and other festive seasons. Ingredients

[makes about 18 - 20 rolls]

600 gm pork [tender meat] - cut strips

100 gm pork fat - cut strips

50 gm shallots - sliced thinly

3 cloves garlic - chopped finely

1 egg

2 heaped tbsp cornflour

Seasoning

1 1/2 tsp 5 spice powder

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp salt

a dash msg

1 tbsp margarine/butter

1 big piece beancurd skin [foo peh] - cut 20 equal size pieces
