Chinese Kikiam is a Chinese sausage made with pork chop, shrimp, chicken broth, carrot, all purpose flour, oyster sauce, soy sauce, spring onions, sugar, five spice, sesame oil, corn-starch, salt and pepper.

CHINESE KIKIAM

When you hear the word “kikiam”, you may probably imagine the small, long brown snack sold together with the fishballs and kwek-kweks. Regular kikiams are commonly served as a street food snack. But this Chinese kikiam is a special type of kikiam adopted from the Chinese cuisine. It is more like the “fancy kikiam”. It is also called “bean curd rolls” since the wrapper called the taupe wrapper is made from soybeans. This wrapper makes it unique among other types of kikiam and even when compared to our classic lumpia. These rolls can be made in large batches since the filling is really so easy to make. Just freeze them and fry anytime you want. What are you waiting for? Try it now! Kikiam ingredients are to be steamed and fried to crispy perfection to make the recipe delicious.

HOW TO MAKE CHINESE KIKIAM

If you have a food processor or a blender which can process meat, then this dish will be absolutely easy for you! For the filling, you just have to mix the ingredients and let the food processor transform it into a paste-like mixture. After the filling is done, you may start preparing each roll. Start with laying a piece of taupe wrapper in a flat surface and add some filling on one end. Roll it like you roll a classic lumpia. Make sure that the wrapper is sealed tightly so the filling would not come out during the cooking process later.

When the rolls are ready, steam the Chinese kikiam pieces in a steamer. I know some people who prefers steamed kikiam but I recommend you to also try frying it. Store the rest of the bean curd rolls and leave only the ones which are to be fried. Before frying the kikiam rolls, prepare the sauce first. To prepare the sauce, mix and boil the sauce ingredients until it thickens. Fry the kikiam rolls until the wrapper turns golden brown and crispy. Cut into serving pieces and dip with the sweet sauce. Yum! Chinese kikiam sauce recipe goes well with sweet and sour sauce.
