Cooking tips

You can use any vegetables you like.

It is better to mix the pork with spices using a gloved hand so that the spices do not soak into the skin.

For a richer flavor, you can leave the meat with spices in a cool place for an hour.

If you don't like food that's too spicy, you can skip adding chili powder or add just a little.
