[recipe + video] Penang Lobak - 槟城五香肉卷

Loh Bak aka Five-Spice Meat Roll is a common street food in Penang, Malaysia. The pork is marinated in Chinese five-spice powder (五香粉) together with other various ingredients such as yam, water chestnuts, jicama (turnip), onions and etc then rolled up with a sheet of beancurd skin and fried till crispy.

Below is our first trial of making lobak and we really loves the texture with bits of chunk meat, soft yam and crunch of water chestnut.
