How To Make Soy Rolls

I promised to post how to make the soy bean rolls which I have posted on my earlier vegetarian post. These are the steps which I had taken during my recent making of another batch of the rolls.

1. Purchase a pack of the soy bean milk sheet (they are approx. 500g/pack). The above shows how it look when you open up the plastic wrap.

2. Loosen them and marinate with some light soy sauce, a little vegetarian mushroom essence, some sesame oil and lastly, about 2 tablespoon of alkaline water. Be careful while marinating and mixing the sheets, don't break them up into smaller sheets.

3. After about 10 mins, take a portion enough to be roll into a 3cm dimension into plastic sheets which are meant for high temperature heating. Wrap the soy sheets with the plastic slowly, remember to pull tightly and also use a fork to pierce some holes on the plastic for releasing the 'air' trapped during wrapping. Use one hand to hold down the roll with plastic wrap and get ready a piece of white cloth to wrap the roll with the same method. Tie the roll as tightly as possible with a string.

4. Now put all the rolls into a steaming basket (the packet should be sufficient for 4 rolls of the same dimensions).

5. Steam them in medium heat for approximately 50-60 mins.

6. The above shows how the soy rolls looked after steam! If you wish to use them for frying, you may wrap the roll in a piece of nori seaweed with a little corn starch for sticking.

7. Soy roll wrapped with nori seaweed.

8. All rolls are ready for cooking after a day. You can even store them in the freezer for weeks before cooking.
