Instructions
Place the pork, green and red chilli, garlic and salt on a large chopping board. With 2 sharp knives or cleavers, mince the ingredients. Transfer to a bowl and mix to combine.
Place 1 young bamboo shoot on a clean work bench. Place 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the centre. Sprinkle with ginger leaf and close to form a parcel, securing it with bamboo or kitchen string. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
