Ingredients

• Rice flour - 100 grams
• Tapioca starch - 20 grams

• Ground pork - 200 grams
• Shallots - 2, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

Steps

2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil.
3. Pour a small amount of the batter into the skillet, tilting to spread it thinly. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the edges lift, then remove it from the skillet.
4. In another pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat and sauté the shallots and garlic until fragrant.
