Grilled betel leaf rolls are a rustic dish commonly enjoyed in family meals. However, not everyone knows how to fry them so that the betel leaves remain vibrant green and the meat stays moist. This simple dish is a favorite in many households, but achieving the perfect fry requires a little skill to keep the betel leaves looking fresh and the filling juicy.

Ingredients:

• 1 bowl of minced pork
• 1 handful of betel leaves
• 2 stalks of green onions
• 1 large egg (this is a special ingredient)
• A pinch of seasoning powder
• A pinch of pepper
• A pinch of salt
• Cooking oil

Instructions:

• Cut off the stems from the betel leaves, wash them thoroughly, and let them dry. Pat them dry with a towel to avoid oil splattering when frying.
• Finely chop the minced pork and green onions. Chop a few betel leaves and mix them into the minced pork.
• In a large bowl, mix the minced pork with a pinch of salt, seasoning powder, pepper, green onions, and chopped betel leaves. Add the egg to the mixture to help bind the ingredients and prevent the rolls from becoming dry, creating a fluffier, more aromatic result than if only meat were used.
• Place the underside of a betel leaf on the cutting board, then spoon a small amount of the pork mixture onto the leaf, forming a neat line. Leave a little space at the edges of the leaf to prevent the filling from spilling out. Roll the leaf tightly into a cylinder.
