Ingredients:
10 dried bean curd sheets
2/3 pound ground pork
2 scallions, coarsely chopped
2 pounds ground pork
2 teaspoons Chinese rice vinegar
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
6 ounces cellophane noodles
3 slices fresh ginger, coarsely chopped

2 bitter melons, seeded, blanched, cut in four the long way, each fourth angle-cut in one-inch pieces
2 Tablespoons oyster sauce

Preparation:
1. Soak bean curd sheets in one cup of boiling water until soft, then rinse them in cold water, drain, and set them aside.
2. Mix pork with scallions, ginger, Chinese rice wine, oyster sauce, and sugar, and roll about one-tenth of the pork mixture into each bean curd sheet having it look like a spring roll, and put them in a cold rice cooker.
3. Pour one cup of cold water on them, cover the rice cooker, and steam until rice cooker clicks off.
4. Put the pork rolls on a small pre-heated platter.
5. Heat the sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch mixture until it boils, then pour it over the pork rolls, and serve them cut or not, as preferred.
