Ingredients:
As many bell rolls as needed
As many meat rolls (such as black-bone chicken rolls)
As many shrimp pastes as needed
1 tomato
A pinch of celery
A pinch of shredded ginger
A pinch of soy sauce
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Gently unfold the bell roll, top with the meat roll, then add two layers of shrimp paste, rolling from the beginning to the end.
Add a little oil to a casserole dish, add the chopped tomatoes and stir-fry until softened.
Place the rolled bell rolls in the casserole dish and top with the celery and shredded ginger.
Add an appropriate amount of water, then a little soy sauce and salt to taste.
Cover the pot and simmer over low heat for 10-13 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the bell rolls and meat rolls are cooked through. Garnish with cilantro or chopped green onions before serving.

Roll the meat rolls tightly to prevent them from falling apart.
When simmering in a casserole, keep the heat low to prevent the broth from drying up.

Cooking Tips:
Mix the minced meat thoroughly to ensure it is well-seasoned. This will ensure the steamed rolls have a better texture.
Adjust the steaming time according to the thickness of the rolls and minced meat to avoid overcooking. Taste Adjustment Tips
If you prefer a savory flavor, add a suitable amount of seafood or diced chicken to the tomato sauce bell rolls.
If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a suitable amount of chili peppers or Sichuan peppercorns to the bell roll casserole.
If you prefer a lighter flavor, reduce the seasoning in the bell rolls and add a suitable amount of diced vegetables.
