COOK’s MODIFICATION(S):
  • The original recipe called for 1/4 lb pork butt. However, I just use ground pork as a substitute. What's important is that there should be enough fat in the meat.
  • The dipping sauce requires 1 TBSP mushroom soy, which isn't a staple in my kitchen so I skip on this requirement.
  • The dipping sauce requires Thai chile but I just used red pepper flakes, which I never go out of in my kitchen.

COOK’s NOTE(S):
  • The dipping sauce is ok. But I still prefer the ready-made chili paste, to which I just add soy sauce and lemon juice, that I enjoyed in a local Chinese restaurant back in the Philippines (i.e., Hen Lin and Chowking). Sadly, I don't know how to make this---and so my quest for the perfect dipping sauce continues!
