Directions
-
Prepare the dough by mixing flour and water until a smooth ball forms, then cover and rest for 20 minutes.

In a bowl, combine minced pork, crushed garlic, sliced green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil to create the filling.
-
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a thin circle.
-
Place a spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of each dough circle.
-
Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal.
-
Heat vegetable or peanut oil in a deep pot to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
Carefully lower the pies into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove pies with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels before serving.

Note
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the pies to prevent them from absorbing too much oil.
For a healthier option, you can bake the pies at 400ðF (200ðC) for 15-20 minutes until golden.
Serve immediately for the best texture, as the pastry will soften as it cools.
