Peel and grate Asian pears, then grate Garlic and Ginger into the same bowl. Put Pork shoulder in the freezer for 30 min — firm, not frozen — then slice it as thin as you can against the grain, about 0.3 cm thick. If your butcher will shave it for you, even better.

⚠ Cold, firm pork slices cleanly; warm pork shreds and turns to mince.
