The Making of Yan

Not many, erm in fact, none of my friends know what is Yan. Even my best buddies, every year came to my house to have steamboat during CNY and eating it, don't know what is that.

So I am here to reveal what is it.

Yan is a Foo Chow delight, and the skin of Yan, is the famous product of Foo Chow in China. It's not easy to get it because only a few places selling it. It's made by pork and it's thin like a piece of paper.

The packaging

We need the ingredients, such as mince meat!

This is how the skin looks like, kinda look like white paper. But it's extremely vulnerable.

We need to cut it into 2, so can wrap Yan nicely

Spray with a bit of water, but then I found a better way - quick soak in the water!

Here we go to wrap the delicious Yan:

This is how it looks after soaking (2secs) in the water

Put the meat in the middle, agak agak the amount of meat

Halfway wrapping

Wrap it nicely...

This is just not enough~

Put them to steam. We did a few rounds actually

After steaming them, it's actually cooked and can be eaten. We are putting them into the fridge so that can have it whenever we want~

Eating Yan and wantan at the same time, wantan is just uncomparable and you can really taste the difference! Even though the meat inside is from the same mix, the feel when you chew, the fragrance and the taste is totally different.
