Directions
- Heat the oil in a pan. Add the carrots and jicama and cook until tender. Boil the sausages to soften them, then cut them into thin slices.
- Rinse the dried shrimp, drain them, and heat them in oil until they are dry and fragrant. Wash the lettuce and herbs, keeping the leaves intact.
- For the sauce, sauté the chopped garlic in oil, then add the chopped liver and cook until browned. Add the hoisin sauce and about 1/5 cup of water. Bring to a simmer, season to taste, and add sugar as needed.
- 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
