5 Method / Steps

Step 1

Place the cabbage and carrot in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Mix until well combined. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, to make the dipping sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan forced. Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Use your hands to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the cabbage mixture and transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the pork, garlic, shallot, water chestnuts, soy sauce, cornflour, sesame oil and white pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Cut each pastry sheet in half. Arrange a quarter of the pork mixture along the centre of each pastry strip. Roll up to form a log. Turn logs seam-side down. Cut each into 5 pieces and place on the prepared tray. Brush with egg yolk. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to chill.

Step 5

Bake sausage rolls for 15-20 minutes or cooked through and pasty is puffed and golden. Serve with the dipping sauce.
