2. In a big bowl, put sliced ampalaya, eggs, minced pork, minced shallot, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
3. In a wok, heat oil. Add small portion of the mixture or use a big full spoon and form it like a pancake or a round shape and fry until cooked.
4. Repeat the steps until the mixture is finished. Add cooking oil if necessary.
5. Serve with rice.

Cooking Tips:
