Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- [Runbing Pi (Wrapper)] Knead all-purpose flour, salt, and water into a highly sticky dough. Smear the dough lump onto a hot griddle to bake an ultra-thin wrapper.
- [Ingredients] Boil (or stir-fry) lean pork, bean sprouts, cabbage, julienned carrots, and dried tofu. Squeeze out moisture firmly to prevent tearing the wrapper.
- Prepare 'Hua Sheng Fen' (peanut powder mixed with sugar) and cilantro.
- Spread a thick layer of sweet peanut powder on the wrapper (acts as a sponge to absorb moisture).
- Heap veg and meat on top, scatter cilantro.
- Fold the ends and roll tightly like a thick sushi roll to prevent spilling.
