Preparation
- Step 1
Blanch the filling ingredients in hot oil in the following way: Heat wok over high heat, add oil and heat to 300 to 325 degrees. Add pork, loosening the meat with a spatula. Add chicken in the same manner. Add vegetables. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, turn off heat, and remove with a large strainer. Drain over a large bowl. Reserve the oil left in the wok for another use.
- Step 2
Wash the wok, place back on stove, heat and dry with a paper towel.
- Step 3
Reheat the wok and stir-fry the meat and vegetables for 1 to 2 minutes. Add white wine and mix well.
- Step 4
Make a well in the center of the ingredients, pour in the sauce mixture, and mix thoroughly. When the mixture thickens, add sesame oil and mix well. Remove the filling to a shallow dish and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Step 5
Unwrap the rice noodle, roll it out with its sticky side up and flatten it with the fingers. With a scraper cut out skins, 6 inches by 6 inches.
- Step 6
Along one edge, line filling, about 4 inches long and 1 inch thick. Roll the skin tightly, trim the ends and place on a heatproof dish or plate. Repeat until all of the filling is used.

Place the dish in a steamer and steam for 10 to 15 minutes, or until hot. Serve immediately.
