1 thick slice fatback pork
1/2 cucumber
3 small carrots
1/4 cup shelled roasted peanuts
6 large cooked shrimp, peeled
4 tbsp wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar

When they are thoroughly cooked, remove them from the heat, drain them and allow them to cool.
Peel and dice the cucumber, then place it in a sieve or colander and sprinkle it with salt.
Let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes then rinse and drain it well.
The carrots should be peeled and coarsely grated and the peanuts ground.
You may use a blender or coffee grinder to do this.
