- Rehydrate the tofu skin by soaking them in luke warm water for few seconds or until pliable. Pat dry with kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Put at least 2 T of the meat mixture at the bottom centre of the tofu skin.Spread the meat and roll tightly to form into a log. Seal ends of the tofu skin w/ the cornstarch paste.
