Minced Pork Rolls in Beancurd Skins

This classic dish of the Swatow people from Shantou is so sublime that it is often cooked as a festive offering during Taoist festivals. It is nothing like the ubiquitous spring roll and is unique in that it uses crinkly beancurd skins as wrappers. The filling is a rich amalgam of ingredients with delightful, contrasting textures. Unlike many regional Chinese dishes, this is a local dish and seldom appears on menus elsewhere.
