In a separate bowl, stir together the soya sauce, salt, white pepper and five-spice powder until smooth, then add it to the pork\/shrimp mix.<\/p>\n<p>Stir in the water chestnuts, green onions and yellow onion, mixing as you go to distribute the ingredients evenly. Finally, sift in the flour and mix until no traces of flour are visible.<\/p>\n<p>Lay out the prepared skins on your work surface. Arrange a heaping tablespoon of the prepared pork mix along the longer edge of the skin, leaving a \u00bd-inch gap from the surrounding edges. Shape the meat into a slim sausage, it should be about 1 inch tall and 1\u00bd inches wide. Add more pork if needed.<\/p>\n<p>After shaping the meat, roll the skin starting with the edge closest to you, tucking in the side edges as you go. Roll until the meat is fully ensconced within the skin, then place it, seamside down, on a plate. Repeat until you\u2019ve used up all the pork.<\/p>\n<p>Lightly grease a steamer tray and steam the rolls for 8 to 10 minutes, until the skins turn translucent and the rolls feel firm. Remove and set aside on wire racks to cool. At this point, you can divide the rolls into batches and freeze them in plastic wrap for up to 3 months. To cook, defrost the rolls in a 350F\/ 180C oven for 10 minutes before frying.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2980\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2980\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/199.96.156.76\/~binghuan\/seattletimes_6eptember\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ngoh-hiang-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/199.96.156.76\/~binghuan\/seattletimes_6eptember\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ngoh-hiang-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ngoh hiang (2)\" width=\"350\" height=\"263\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ngoh-hiang-2.jpg 350w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ngoh-hiang-2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2980\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steaming the ngoh hiang before freezing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2981\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2981\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/199.96.156.76\/~binghuan\/seattletimes_6eptember\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ngoh-hiang-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/199.96.156.76\/~binghuan\/seattletimes_6eptember\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ngoh-hiang-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ngoh hiang (3)\" width=\"350\" height=\"258\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ngoh-hiang-3.jpg 350w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ngoh-hiang-3-300x221.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2981\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steamed ngoh hiang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To finish the rolls, heat a non-stick saucepan large enough to hold 2 to 3 rolls comfortably and add enough oil to thinly cover the surface of the pan.<\/p>\n<p>Add the rolls one at a time \u2013 I recommend cooking a maximum of 3 at one go, so as not to overcrowd the pan \u2013 and fry on medium high heat until the skins turn a crisp dark brown.
