Messy Gracie Cooks: Labourer's Day Sweaty Leg Painful POH PIAH

One fine labourer's day, me and my best friend decided to be labourers and make ourself tired by making POH PIAH or in english we called it Spring Rolls. For those who do not understand what is Poh Piah, let me describe it in a very easy way. You take a piece of round or square thin skin (no worries no human or animal skin was used) made from flour and put lots of yummy eatable things inside and wrap them up nicely and thus you call it Rolls. why spring and not winter or summer? I have no idea so we just leave it as poh piah (in hokkien by the way). Here i will show you how to do the skin Messy Gracie's way and how to cook the yummy things inside the poh piah. So lets slave ourself making poh piah.

HOW To Make the Poh Piah Skin! - according to my mummy

INGREDIENTS

Wheat Flour - 4 big soup spoon
Tapioca Flour - 2 big soup spoon - lessen it if you do not want it to be too starchy
1 egg
Water - 6 to 8 big soup spoon - if too thick put more water otherwise your skin will be thick like pig skin
Black Pepper
Salt

STEPS
Step 1

Mix the 2 flours, water and the egg in a big bowl. Put a few pinch of salt and pepper into the mixture
Mix the batter properly. If too thick, mix in some more water. Please do not make it too watery otherwise you will be drinking soup

Step 2

Heat up a frying pan. Pour some oil onto a tissue or kitchen paper towel (if really cannot find you may use toilet paper - unused one please) and rub the tissue on the frying pan.

See my flash gordon hand wiping the oily tissue on the pan? HOT MAH!
Using a small laddle, scoop some batter and slowly pour it into the frying pan making a round shap. Smear those part which is thick so it will make a thin skin paper type. Any holes on the skin, please cover it up with some more batter like putting cement..ha ha ha ha ha...

You will get something like this.

Since Bersih 3.0 was held recently, I had one of the member to help me cook the skin. Why PROTEST if one can cook? ha ha ha

Phew! DONE with our Skin. Took us like 30 minutes just to make 20 ha ha ha ha ha..ok ok....1 hour..If you are lazy you can actually buy them from the shop at the market like RM3.50 for 100 gm. My friend bought it because she has no confidence in me that my skin will come out okie. ha ha..so I proved her wrong. Mine is softer, smaller (if too big later on fat ar) and most importantly more yellowish..ha ha..cos of the egg..Anyway..lets do the inside yummy thing

HOW To Make the Yummy Inside of the Poh Piah - According to Messy Gracie

INGREDIENTS

KU CHAI - English we call it chives - 2 big stalks and cut into smaller pieces
Chinese Leaks - 2 stalks and cut them into smaller pieces
2 pieces of square Tofu - cut into small pieces
Chicken breasts - without bones - 200 to 300 gm..not too much and cut them into smaller pieces
4 or 5 gloves of garlic - chop them finely
4 or 5 red onions - chop them up finely as well
Oyster Sauce
Garlic

STEPS
Step 1 - TOFU and Red onion

Stir fry the tofu until it is brown and some of them a bit crispy..yum yum
Stir fry the red onion until they are golden brown and crispy as well

Step 2-Stir Fry Ku Chai and Leak

Stir fry the Ku Chai (chives) with some oil and put some salt into the ku chai. Fry it till it is cooked. After they are cooked, take the ku chai out and put it aside
Then stir fry the leak with some oil, put some salt and then after they are cooked, put them aside as well.

Step 3 - Meat time

Lets cook the meat. Pour some oil into the wok, and then put the chicken into the wok and stir fry it a bit. Then add some oyster sauce into the wok. Don't put too much otherwise it will be very salty. Remember your BP now.

Take the cooked chicken out and put it aside also.

Step 4 - Mix them all UP

Pour some oil into the wok and put those finely chopped garlics into the wok when the oil is hot. Stiry fry till garlic aroma comes out but please don't burn the garlic. Burnt garlic smells AWEFUL and the whole dish will be spoilt.
Put the fried red onion into the wok and then put the stir fried ku chai and leak into the wok as well and mix them all up properly
Put the fried tofu and the chicken into the wok and mix them all up.

No need to cook so long because all of the ingredients are already cook. Just mix them all properly and of cos sometimes some of them will accidently fall to the side of the fire place thingy...but not too worry you can clean them up later
