1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
finely chopped green onions
salt and pepper to taste
Pork Floss
Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and add enough water to form a smooth and slurry batter.
Place a ladle of the batter into an oiled frying pan on medium low heat and swirl to coat the whole pan.
When the batter has set, flip the pancake to cook on the other side.
Place some pork floss on one end of the pancake.
Roll the pancake up into a roll. All this is done while the pancake is still warm on the pan. Ming who helped Julie to make this must have a pair of steel hand as she was able to handle the hot pancake with her bare hand.
For me, I will make the pancake first and remove it from the pan before I add the pork floss and do the rolling.

Chicken Gravy:
4 tablespoons pan fat and bits
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°
4 tablespoons pan fat and bits
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°
1. Place the chicken parts in a medium-sized bowl and add enough buttermilk to submerge the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 8–12 hours or overnight.
2. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and shake off the excess, and bring to room temperature. Discard the buttermilk.
3. Combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, cayenne pepper and freshly ground black pepper in a plastic bag. Add the chicken and shake to coat. Remove the chicken pieces from the bag, shaking off any extra coating.
4. Melt the butter and vegetable shortening in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
5. Bring the temperature of the fat to 355º Fahrenheit. Brown the chicken in batches, cooking three or four pieces at a time until golden (three to four minutes). Make sure to bring the fat temperature back up to 355º before you begin browning each batch.
6. Remove the browned chicken from the fat (reserve fat for gravy), pat off excess grease with paper towels, and set the chicken on a cake rack placed over a cookie sheet.
7. Bake the chicken on the rack for 35–45 minutes or until fully cooked. Serve hot or cold.
Chicken Gravy
1. Carefully pour off most of the chicken’s cooking fat, leaving only four tablespoons in the pot. Turn the heat to medium-high and whisk in the flour, forming a roux. Whisk vigorously to scrape up all of the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.
2. Lower the heat if needed and cook for several minutes, stirring often, until the nutty flour scent is gone and the mixture begins to turn golden brown.
3. Add the chicken stock to the roux in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
4. Bring the gravy to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is reduced in volume by about half.
5. Add the salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
6 Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if needed.
NOTE: Don’t panic if your gravy lumps up a bit. Just whirl it in the blender or run it trough a strainer—Perfection!
