Method
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mushrooms, grated tempeh, turnip, water chestnuts and spring onions.
Add the five-spice powder, light soy sauce, sesame oil and two tablespoons of the cornflour, then mix well until sticky and evenly combined.
Lay a sheet of beancurd skin flat and spoon a line of filling along one edge.
Brush the loose edge with a paste of the remaining cornflour and a little water, then roll the beancurd skin tightly around the filling into a firm cylinder, sealing well. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.
Place the rolls on a steamer basket set over boiling water and steam for 15 minutes to set the filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok to 170°C.
Deep-fry the steamed rolls in batches for four to five minutes, turning occasionally, until deep golden and crisp.
Drain on kitchen paper, then slice into rounds and serve with the sweetened dark soy sauce for dipping.
