Simple Chinese Prawn Rolls

(For 4 people)

1 slice of ham (or any cooked meat - 1/2 cm. thick)
4 slices thin bread (very fresh - steam 2-3 minutes to freshen)
4 oz. prawns (green)
3 eggs

Method: Remove the vein from the prawns. Chop prawns into very small pieces.
Add pinch of salt, pepper and monosodium glutomate [sic].
Remove the crusts from the bread.
Slice ham lengthwise and place over the prawns, then roll. Cut in half.
Use beaten egg to seal the edges of the roll and ends. Deep fry.

Variation.
If a soft roll is wanted - dip the whole roll in egg before deep frying. For a crisp roll deep fry without dipping whole roll in egg.

Banana rolls may be made in identical way - quarter bananas lengthwise.
