MEAT MIXTURE

Prepare pancakes.

Combine cornstarch, soy sauce and sherry in large bowl. Add raw beef, raw
pork, green onions, ginger and garlic; mix until thoroughly combined.

Spread 1/2 cup meat mixture evenly over each pancake, leaving about 1/2
inch border on one side. Starting with opposite side, roll up pancake
jelly roll fashion. Place rolls, seam side down in single layer on
heatproof plate; place plate on steamer rack. Set rack in large pot or wok
of boiling water. Cover and steam 15 minutes. (For best results, steam
all rolls at the same time) Just before serving, cut rolls diagonally into
quarters. Arrange on serving platter and serve hot.
