Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

4 Eggs Carrots, finely chopped
1 tb Dry sherry (for garnish)

----------------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
1 c (about 1/2 lb) ground pork, 2 ts Cornstarch, dissolved in
Uncooked 2 tb Water, cold
2 md Fresh mushrooms, 1/2 tb Dark soy sauce
Chopped fine 1 tb Dry sherry
2 Scallions, chopped fine 1 ts Salt
(white parts separate from 1 tb Peanut oil
The green)

-----------------------------------SAUCE-----------------------------------
2 tb Oyster sauce Dash hot chili oil or
1 tb Light soy sauce Tabasco
1 tb Plum sauce Sauce

In a bowl, stir the eggs with the dry sherry. In a mixing bowl, combine all
the filling ingredients, include only the white parts of the chopped
scallions (save the green parts for garnish) and stir to blend well. In a
8-inch skillet, heat the oil lightly. Pour about a quarter of the egg
mixture to cover the bottom of the skillet. Heat until the egg pancake has
barely set, then transfer to a plate. Make 3 more pancakes. Divide the
filling into 4 portions and put a portions on each pancake. Moisten your
fingers with cold water and spread the filling mixture evenly over the
surface of the pancake, then roll up tightly, as you would a jelly roll.
Seal with a little leftover egg from the egg-beating bowl. Place the rolls
on a flat plate that will fit your steamer, and then steam them over an
inch of simmering water for 15 minutes. In a bowl, mix together the sauce
ingredients. To serve, cut the rolls into slices, cutting on the slant.
Drizzle the sauce over them and top with the scallion greens and the
carrots. Makes 6 to 8 appetizer servings.
