At the table
Hold the paper-wrapped base and bite through bread and filling together. Let the center cool; keep a plate or wrapper underneath for loose filling. Check that any skewers have been removed.
Choose fillings and chili level before assembly. Even the egg-and-vegetable version can contain oyster sauce; ask about peanuts, sesame and the frying oil.
Chicken, sausage, other vegetables and different sauces are alternatives. They are not all included in the selected egg-tofu-potato sandwich.
