Pork shoulder, lean only, finely minced117.3 g
Endives, separated into individual leaves71.8 g
Fresh Ginger, finely grated10.8 g
Whole wheat tortilla, cut into strips18.6 g

Instructions

1

In a small bowl, combine the finely minced pork shoulder with the freshly grated ginger and a pinch of salt. Work the mixture with your hands until it becomes slightly tacky, which helps the meat stay tender during cooking.

2

Shape the pork mixture into small, bite-sized portions.

3

Prepare a steamer basket over boiling water. Place the pork portions into the basket and steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork is opaque and cooked through.

4

While the pork steams, slice the whole wheat tortilla into thin, crisp-ready ribbons. Briefly toast these in a dry pan until golden and crisp for texture.

5

Carefully spoon the steamed, ginger-scented pork into the individual, crisp endive leaves.

6

Arrange the filled endive cups on a serving plate and scatter the toasted whole wheat tortilla strips over the top for a necessary crunch. Serve immediately while the pork is warm and the endive remains cool and snappy.
