Ingredients

• Rice flour - 100 grams
• Tapioca starch - 50 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Minced pork - 200 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Shallots - 1 small, finely chopped
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Egg - 1, beaten
• Fresh herbs (cilantro, mint) - 30 grams, chopped
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Chili sauce (for serving) - as desired

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca starch, and warm water to create a smooth batter.
2. Grease a non-stick frying pan with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat.
3. Pour half of the batter into the pan and swirl to cover the bottom, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until set.
4. Remove the cooked base from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter to make two bases.
5. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and shallots, sautéing until fragrant.
6. Add the minced pork, fish sauce, and black pepper. Cook until the pork is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
7. Spread the cooked pork mixture evenly over the rice flour bases.
8. Drizzle the beaten egg over the pork, allowing it to cook slightly before folding the edges of the base over the filling.
9. Garnish with fresh herbs and green onions, and serve with chili sauce on the side.
