How it's used
Commonly found in dim sum restaurants, these rolls are typically deep fried to achieve a golden, crispy texture. While they are often served as a snack, they are also a staple item on the menu of many traditional tea houses. The filling usually consists of a mixture of minced meat, vegetables, and sometimes shrimp, wrapped in a thin layer of dried bean curd skin.
