 Method:   

1. Remove skin and bone chicken breasts. Place each breast and  the small under-fillets on a board and cover with foil. Using a rolling pin, press out each chicken piece thinly. Partly cover each breast with the fillet to make an even rectangular shape. Sprinkle with poultry seasoning.

2. Cut ham into 4 ½ inch wide strips. Spread each strip with hoi-sin sauce. Place each piece of ham diagonally onto each chicken breast. Roll up and secure with two toothpicks. Chill 15 minutes.

3. Sift flour and salt. Blend in egg and milk to form batter. Sprinkle rolls with cornstarch then coast with batter. Deep-fry two at a time in hot oil until golden. Remove toothpicks and serve sliced and garnished with fried noodles.
