Combine pork, onion, ginger, broth, soy sauce, Sherry, egg and 1 tablespoon
cornstarch in bowl and mix well. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch
with water in small bowl.
Moisten 1 bean curd sheet under running water. Place on work surface and
spread with 1/4 of meat mixture. Roll as for jelly roll; brush long edge
with dissolved cornstarch to seal. Repeat to make three more rolls. Cut
each into slices 1 1/2 inches thick; dip each end in additional cornstarch

refrigerated.)
For salt: Combine salt and peppercorns in small skillet and cook until
browned. Crush in mortar with pestle.
Heat oil in wok or deep fryer to 375 deg. Add slices a few at a time and
fry until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with peppercorn salt, if
desired.
