Expository Essay
Making sardine rolls is as easy as ABC. You need a loaf of bread, an egg, and a can of
sardines.
Here are the steps. First, press a slice of bread with a mortar. Spread the
sardines onto it. Then, you must roll it perfectly. After that, dip the raw sardine rolls into
the battered eggs. Fry them until the roll turned yellow. Cut the roll into two using a
sharp knife, and serve.
I hope you can try it at home.
