Description

This classic Chinese-style dish features a crispy, golden exterior hiding a savory filling of minced pork, aromatic green onions, and garlic. The dough becomes flaky and crunchy when deep-fried, contrasting beautifully with the juicy, tender meat inside. It is a satisfying comfort food that works well as a snack or a light meal. Simple to assemble with common pantry staples, this recipe delivers authentic home-style flavors. Perfect for sharing with family or enjoying as a hearty treat, these pies are best served warm. The combination of savory pork and fresh vegetables creates a balanced and delicious bite every time.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the dough by mixing flour and water until a smooth ball forms, then cover and rest for 20 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, combine minced pork, crushed garlic, sliced green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil to create the filling.
  3. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a thin circle.
  4. Place a spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of each dough circle.
  5. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal.
  6. Heat vegetable or peanut oil in a deep pot to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  7. Carefully lower the pies into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  8. 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.
