7.Steam for about 13-15 minutes depending on the size.

8.Serve hot or cool it, to store in a container and froze in the freezer. Defrost it the next time when you want to reheat it by steaming it again or deep fried for crispiness.

***Upped and resteemed to share with my foodie followers in my @momskitchen blog ! 😋😋😋

Absolutely, you can make it ahead steam cooked it and frost it. Defrost it anytime when you feel like cooking it. The reason of defrosting it before frying is to avoid major oil splash. After all, your skin is more important! To answer your question, you can absolutely fry it!! I like it crispy too :DDD

Thank you for resteeming it :D Will check out your profile immediately!

Interesting version of a spring roll. I have not seen this kind of coating before.

Thank you for featuring! It's a very traditional kind of skins. It's made from soya. You can get it at most chinese grocery/market.

You are welcome. I keep my eyes open for the next shopping in an Asia market.

I love bean curd skin roll! Something you usually only get at yum cha, but you are making it yourself! That is awesome. Looks very delicious!

Exactly! Also can get it at Dim Sum shops, normally in fried form :D
