Egg roll & Empanada pork filling

• 4 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
• 1 thumb size ginger (finely minced)
• 9 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 medium size red onions (but you can use 1 white & 1 red)(white onion for sweetness and red for flavor & fragrance) (minced)
• 1 small bunch of scallion / spring onion (minced)
• 3 tbsp fish sauce
• 1/2 kg ground pork
• 1 carrot (use food processor to mince but you could also use a knife)
• 1/4 small cabbage (minced)
• 125 grams raisins
• 1 salt & pepper to taste
• 4 tbsp tomato sauce (optional)

1. Heat pan, once it's hot add olive oil
2. Add ginger first, cook until brown (this allows the ginger to give its fragrance and removes its spicy rooty flavor)
3. Add garlic (cook until slightly brown)
4. Add onions & scallions/spring onion (sautee until fragrant)
5. Add fish sauce (gourmet tip: allow the fish sauce to simmer until its fragrant, this adds more flavor on your food without affecting the base flavor of the herbs)
6. Add ground pork (mix well and stir until pork is cook)
7. Add carrots & cabbage (mix in well to incorporate flavors)
8. Add raisins (mix in well)
9. Tomato sauce is optional, it further enhances the flavor of your mixture, but adjust your salt level since tomato sauce is already a sodium based substance
10. Add salt and pepper to taste
