• Shallots - 2, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons

• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground Halal pork, chopped shallots, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Transfer the pork mixture to a heatproof dish, spreading it evenly. Make a few indentations or holes in the mixture to allow steam to circulate.
