Steamed #Thai #seafood #beancurd skin rolls

These seafood rolls wrapped in beancurd skin, steamed then sliced and served with a spicy sauce are delicious and healthy. Super quick and easy to make. They are a great addition to a buffet or picnic spread as they are served lukewarm or room temperature.

Beancurd skin is made from the skin formed when boiling soy milk, and is found in dried sheets in Asian supermarkets. You will need a bamboo or other steamer with a flat base.

This recipe is of Thai origin and can be adapted to suit your taste by adding finely diced lemongrass, Thai basil or more chilli.
