Step 2

Mince the pork meat using a grinder or a processor.

Step 5

Knead the mixture for another 5 minutes until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Next, put plastic liner on a cutting board. Add a 1/4 cup of the mixture in the middle of the board.

Step 8

Make a groove with your fingers and add in the birds eye chiles. Pull the mixture over the chilies.

Step 9

Roll the film tightly into a small cylindrical, oblong length ways, tightly. Roll up the ends ensuring no air pockets and flatten any knots, ensuring that the packaging is small, compact, and tight.
