How to choose fresh, quality pork

Fresh pork has a bright pink-red color, the meat is dry, firm, elastic when pressed, and without a strange smell. To make lolot leaf minced pork rolls, it is best to buy pork shoulder or belly, with a good proportion of lean meat and fat, which will make the dish more tender and tasty. Avoid buying pork that is dull in color, with water, soft, or gives off an unpleasant smell, as this means that the meat is old and not tasty.

How to choose fresh and quality lolot leaves

The best lolot leaves are those that are medium-sized, wide, thick, dark in color, and intact. Avoid leaves that are too dark and thick, which may be old and less fragrant. Likewise, avoid leaves that are too green, which are young, tender, and less fragrant.

How to choose fresh, quality eggs

Good eggs have a uniform shell, without cracks or black spots. When touched, the shell should be slightly rough, a sign of freshness; if it is smooth, the egg is old. Also, if you gently shake an egg near your ear, a fresh egg will not make any noise, while an old egg will make a lapping sound. Under a light, if the egg yolk is orange or light pink, with a transparent white and a small air cell, the egg is fresh. Otherwise, if the yolk is dark red with visible veins and a large air cell, the egg is old.

Once ground, place the pork in a bowl, mix with an egg, finely chopped lolot leaves , sliced shallots, a tablespoon of bouillon powder, a teaspoon of glutamate, a tablespoon of fish sauce, and a teaspoon of ground pepper. Let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the meat to infuse with the flavors.

Roll and fry the rolls

Use the large intact lolot leaves for the rolls. Place the white side of the leaf upwards, put a tablespoon of the meat mixture, spread it out, then roll it up tightly. Repeat until all the ingredients are used. Heat about 200 ml of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. When the oil is hot, fry the rolls for about 5 minutes on one side, then turn them over and fry the other side for about 3 minutes.
