Directions
- Heat the oil in a pan. First, sauté the carrots until they are tender. Then, add the jicama and cook until it is also tender. Boil the sausages to soften them, then cut them into thin slices.
- Rinse the dried shrimp, drain them, and sauté them in oil until they are dry and fragrant. Wash the lettuce and herbs, keeping the leaves whole.
- For the sauce, heat the minced garlic in oil, then add the chopped liver and cook it. Add the hoisin sauce and about 1/5 of a bowl of water. Bring to a boil, season and sweeten to taste, then turn off the heat.
- To assemble: a soft tortilla doesn’t need to be moistened, while a dry tortilla softens when lightly dampened. Place the tortilla on a large plate or platter, add a lettuce leaf, then the sautéed jicama and carrots. ≈ 3 min
- Roll the dough into a log, place 3 slices of sausage along the log, and roll again. Add the sautéed shrimp along the log and roll to the end. ≈ 10 min
- When serving, arrange the rolls on a plate and offer each person a small bowl of sauce, garnished with sesame seeds, fried onions, sautéed chili peppers, and marinated carrots and radishes. ≈ 2 min
