Snakehead Roll 生鱼卷

This is one thing Luk Yu does better than almost anywhere else. Snakehead meat is sliced thin and then a julienne of Jinhua ham 金华火腿 is rolled into the fish, seasoned and dusted with cornstarch, poached in warm oil quickly before quickly stir-fried with the vegetable. It is a classic dish so every cook knows the method. The market is filled with mediocre versions, but Luk Yu's demonstrates the meaning of craftmanship.
