Ingredients:
- 600g finely ground sirloin, or use shoulder meat
- 100g fat
- Seasoning for the meat: 3 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 small spoon of salt, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 small spoon baking powder, 1 small spoon pepper, 2 tablespoons tapioca flour, 2 small spoons sesame oil, and dried shallots.
- Dipping sauce: 150g shrimp, 150g minced sirloin, 100g pork liver, 1/2 cup glutinous rice, 1/2 cup soybean paste, or hoisin sauce, salt, sugar, sesame oil, dried shallots, and fish sauce.
- Accompanying greens: aromatic herbs, cilantro, laksa leaves, cucumber, and optionally sour starfruit or green banana.

Instructions:
Step 1: Clean and finely dice the fat.
Step 2: Place the meat in a bowl, add the fat and the seasoned meat mixture to the meat bowl, finely chop the dried shallots, mix well, and use a large spoon to knead until the meat mixture is firm. Wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight.
Step 3: Grease your hands with cooking oil, take a small amount of the meat mixture, evenly wrap it around bamboo sticks, grill over charcoal until golden brown, or use an electric grill. If using an oven, bake at 160°C, for 10 - 15 minutes per side, brushing a little oil mixture on the surface to prevent the meat from drying out.
Step 4: Rinse glutinous rice several times until water is clear. Soak the rice in cold water overnight or for about 5 hours. Then, cook the rice with a cup of filtered water until soft. Transfer the rice to a bowl and use a spoon to mash it.
Step 5: Peel and devein the shrimp, crush the peanuts. Grind the minced sirloin into a bowl. Clean the pork liver and finely chop.
Step 6: Heat three small spoons of sesame oil, sauté the dried shallots until fragrant, then add the shrimp to stir-fry. Stir-fry for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 7: Then add the minced meat and pork liver, stir-fry until cooked. Pour the mixture into a blender or meat grinder, grind finely once again.
Step 8: Slowly pour the soy sauce into the pan, stirring with chopsticks while pouring. Season with sugar, salt, and fish sauce to taste, adjust according to your preference.
Step 9: Simmer for 10 to 20 minutes until the mixture thickens, then turn off the heat. Scoop the dipping sauce into a small bowl, add crushed peanuts, and optionally, chili peppers or spicy chili sauce.
Step 10: Wash lettuce, aromatic herbs, and cilantro thoroughly.
Step 11: Wash cucumber, remove seeds, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Step 12: When serving, arrange the grilled meat on a plate, add vermicelli, lettuce, and various accompanying greens. Roll it up with rice paper and dip it in the prepared dipping sauce.
