All the ingredients for Pork Giniling recipe

Chopping the pork meat finely makes some uneven bits thus giving a bit more texture but of course buying the ground meat is convinient.

Procedure

  1. Pre-fry potatoes, carrots and green peas gives the vegetable a light crust for more flavor and texture. Set aside.
  2. Heat some oil in a skillet pan and sear until golden brown. Set on high heat enough to brown the ground meat sealing it so it doesn't dry out. Set aside. Pork Giniling searing in a pan
