Put the sliced string cheese over and cover it completely with the meat mixture. Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, roll it, and secure the ends. Perform this step until the entire meat mixture is consumed.

Notes

Note 1: (ground pork) If ground pork is not available, you can manually mince pork shoulder until it gets fine to the point that it sticks to each other. As for those who want to use other types of protein, I recommend ground chicken.

Note 2: (string cheese) I use store bought mozzarella string cheese. Feel free to use other types of easy melting cheeses if this is not available.

Note 3: (cornstarch) You can all use all purpose flour or breadcrumbs as alternatives.
