Directions
-
Heat vegetable or peanut oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
Prepare the pork filling by mixing ground pork with crushed garlic and sliced spring onions.
-
Place a portion of the meat mixture onto the center of each pie wrapper or pastry sheet.
-
Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring no air pockets remain.
-
Carefully lower the sealed pies into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
-
Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove pies with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.

Note
Ensure the oil temperature is consistent for even frying. If the oil is too cool, the pies will absorb too much oil; if too hot, they may burn before cooking through.
For a lighter version, you can bake the pies at 400ðF (200ðC) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, though they will not be as crispy as deep-fried.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork filling reaches an internal temperature of 165ðF (74ðC) for food safety.
Leftover pies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
