The ham should have provided the salt, but feel free to add more. If you are already at gelatin stage, don’t worry….just add a little more salt to the pork filling. Best thing to do is prepare the pork filling and cook a bite sized bit in a small frying pan. Add a little bit of gelatin in last minute to melt. Taste test! Adjust the pork filling seasoning to taste.

You can try an Asian supermarket. Look in the freezer section.

Does anyone, anywhere sell these frozen to be shipped? I’ve tried before and failed miserably and am a bit gun-shy.

I want to make this for my family, but most of them have shellfish allergies, so… I can’t do shrimp. Will that affect the flavor of the recipe at all? Is there something I can use in place of shrimp perhaps?
