Ingredients

2	ounces	bean curd	dried
3	tablespoons	soy sauce
2	tablespoons	water
1	teaspoon	sugar
1	teaspoon	fennel seeds
1/2	each	star anise
2	whole	cloves	crushed
1/2	teaspoon	peppercorns	Szechuan, crushed

Directions

Soak bean curd in water to cover about 1/2 hour until soft.

Mix together remaining ingredients, then marinate the softened bean curd sheets in this mixture about 2 hours.

Select the largest and smoothest sheet and lay it on a flat surface.

Place the remaining sheets on it evenly, so that when rolled it will form a cylinder of regular dimensions.

Roll it up VERY tightly.

Place it on a single piece of cheesecloth or old sheet and roll it up with the cloth overhanging at both ends.

Tie the bundle like a toy firecracker at both ends where the bean curd ends.

Place in a steamer and steam about 1 hour.

(Check to make sure the water does not boil away.)

Cool the roll and unwrap it. Cut into 1/4-inch slices.

Serve cold.
