Cooking tips

  • Even if you buy pre-ground pork, be sure to mince it finely again with a knife to a smooth texture so it clings well to the onion without cracking when fried.
  • The meat mixture should be as smooth as sorbet; pound it vigorously to absorb moisture well, which gives a smooth surface when fried.
  • If fried over too high heat, the meat can puff up and burst from internal pressure, so cook slowly at 160-165°C (320-330°F).
  • When stir-frying the seafood filling, it's important to use a starch slurry to create a thick sauce that clings well to the scored ingredients.
