Pechay rolls have different versions. They are served in either Chinese or Japanese restaurants. This dish is very healthy since it involves steaming rather than frying. Some use cabbage instead of pechay, which also works. I just use whats available in my kitchen. You can also play around the ingredients. Happy Cooking!

How to make:

Making these can be a bit challenging. There are more steps in preparations. You have to cut the stems of the pechay and put it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Doing so can help you roll the pechay faster. Pick a bigger leaves of pechay for this to work. Drain and set it aside.

For the Meaatball procedure, you have to combine ground pork, minced garlic, onions, ginger, mushrooms, scallions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, salt, pepper and sugar. Press firmly using hands to form a paste.

Now your ready to roll the Pechay. Put a tablespoon of meat paste and roll gently covering the sides.

Transfer to a steaming pan with foil to catch the sauce that came out from the steam. Steam for 20 minutes.

For the sauce, combine the sauce that came out from the steam to the water soaked in mushrooms, cornstarch, soy sauce, chicken cube and sugar. Heat in pan until thicken. Top in pechay rolls with chopped scallions.
