👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the Tau Kwa: Carefully cut a slit into the side of each tau kwa to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Deep-fry the tau kwa in hot oil until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Drain on paper towels.
2
Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked pork belly, crispy fried yam, diced fish cake, diced cucumber, and diced hard-boiled eggs. Mix gently.
3
Stuff the tau kwa pockets generously with the filling mixture.
4
To serve: Arrange the stuffed tau kwa pau on a plate. Drizzle with braised duck sauce and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve immediately, with chili sauce on the side if desired.
