Remove the filling from heat and let it cool completely before assembling.
-
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into uniform squares or circles.
-
Place a spoonful of the cooled pork filling in the center of each dough piece.

Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring no filling leaks out.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350ðF (175ðC).

Carefully lower the sealed bread pockets into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
