- Combine the pork with salt, MSG, 1 tablespoon salted egg white, cornflour, pepper, groundnut oil and a little bit of water and mix well. Shape into a thick burger and transfer to a heat-proof dish.

Cook's note
You can use minced pork if you wish. However, hand-chopped pork will give a better texture.
