Salted fish and minced pork patties

The word salted fish would put a cringe in my hubby's face, so imagine the smell in the house when I fried these patties. I was lucky that my neighbour didn't knock on my door and asked if there was a corpse lying around. Hahaha! These patties were really good. Thanks to my sister who gave me this recipe. :)

So yummy and smelly! 

Ingredients
500g of minced pork
1 small piece of salted fish - about 3 X 3 cm
2 cloves of minced garlic
2 minced shallots
3 tsps of corn flour
20 ml of water
1 tbsp of soya sauce

Method
  1. Mince the salted fish into very small pieces.
  2. Mix all the ingredients with your hands throughly.
  3. Scoop them with a spoon and roll them like a ball before you flatten them.
  4. Heat up 2 tbsps of oil in a wok and fry them till thoroughly cooked.
  5. Enjoy with a bowl of rice! You need 2 bowls. ;)
