Key ingredients
Fermented pork, pork fat, garlic, salt, white pepper, optional chili (very small amount of sticky rice may be used in fermentation but is negligible in final product).
Optional tweaks
None typically needed as it's naturally low in carbs. Ensure it's grilled or pan-fried without added sugary glazes.
