- 50 g minced pork
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil

Cooking Procedure:
- Wash and cut ampalaya into half, use a spoon to remove seed and slice it thinly.
- In a big bowl, put sliced ampalaya, eggs, minced pork, minced shallot, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- 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.
- Repeat the steps until the mixture is finished. Add cooking oil if necessary.
- Serve with rice.
Cooking Tips:
