Dough

Braise the pork

1. Blanch the pork in hot water then drain.
2. Put the pork and all the other ingredients into a pot. Fill with water enough to cover the meat completely.
3. Bring the water to a boil. Then leave to simmer for at least 1 hour until the meat becomes very tender.

Shape the bread

2. Flatten one piece of dough into a long oval shape.
3. Roll the dough into a cylinder. Stand the cylinder on one end.
4. Press it down then flatten it with a rolling pin (about 10cm / 4 inches in diameter). Repeat the procedure to finish other pieces of dough

Cook the bread

2. Flip the bread over when the first side becomes golden brown, 5m
3. Cook the second side with the lid on, 5m

2. Chop the pork, coriander and chilli into small pieces. Pour some broth onto the chopped meat.
3. Fill the bread with the meat.

Store & reheat
