  • 7 water chestnuts finely chopped

  • 1 tbsp five-spice powder

  • Add a dab of cornstarch slurry to the sides of the sheet.
  • Add a tablespoon of filling to the middle of the sheet.
  • Starting from the edge nearest to you, fold up the corner towards the middle of the sheet, making sure to tuck in the filling such that it’s compact.
  • Slowly roll over the sheet so the filling is completely covered.
  • Use two fingers to seal the sides of the roll.
  • Place the rolls onto a steaming basket lined with a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  • Steam the rolls for 10 minutes.
