- 4. Cut the crust of 10 slices of sandwich bread. Roll these slices thinly with the help of a rolling pin. use fresh bread and roll as thinly as possible. If you feel that the bread is too dry and is breaking off while rolling or staying too thick you can dampen it with some water but be sure to avoid making it over soggy.
- 5. Make a thick slurry of corn flour and all purpose flour.
- 6. Apply the slurry on all 4 sides of the bread. Place a cheese log in the centre and form a tight roll. Use the slurry to seal properly. Press and join the sides of the roll and cut any excess bread.
- 7. Crush the unroasted wheat vermicelli to break them into small strands.
- 8. Dip a bread roll into the slurry , remove any excess slurry and then dip into the vermicelli. Coat well. Repeat this step for all the other rolls.

- 12. Make a paste of corn flour with water and add that to the sauce mix while stirring continuously. Let the sauce thicken completely and then cool it. You can sieve this sauce if you don’t want big pieces of ginger and lemongrass at this stage.

Notes
