02 - For pork shoulder, grind the chilled pieces with a medium grind plate. If pre-ground pork, skip this part.
03 - Stir together the pork, spices, herbs, and seasonings until it's all mixed up.
04 - Cook a tiny sample in a pan, taste it, and tweak seasonings if something's missing.
05 - Flatten into discs about 2½-3 inches wide.
06 - In a hot skillet with a little oil, fry them on each side for 3-4 minutes until golden and fully done inside.

# Notes:

02 - Will stay good in the fridge for 5 days, or freeze for up to half a year
03 - Swap fresh herbs for dried ones but use half the amount
