Ingredients: 3 sheets dried tofu skin (yuba), 4x6 inches each; 4 oz ground chicken; 3 shiitake mushrooms, finely minced; 2 Chinese chives (or scallions), finely chopped; 1 tsp soy sauce; 0.5 tsp sesame oil; 1 clove garlic, minced; 1 tsp grated ginger; 2 tbsp neutral oil for frying; For dipping sauce: 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 clove garlic, minced, 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp lime juice, 0.5 tsp sesame oil, pinch of white pepper

Paper-thin sheets of tofu skin (yuba) are layered with a vibrant filling of minced chicken, shiitake mushroom, and Chinese chives, then loosely bundled and pan-fried until shattering-crispy. A bright sweet-chili-garlic sauce for dipping turns this unfamiliar ingredient into an elegant, completely novel appetizer that feels both modern and rooted in Chinese tradition.
