Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground pork or sliced pork belly
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp five-spice powder
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions
  1. 1
    In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Gradually add warm water, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
  2. 2
    While the dough rests, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3
    Stir in soy sauce, garlic powder, and five-spice powder. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the pork is coated and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. 4
    Divide the rested dough into 4 equal balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
  5. 5
    Spread one-quarter of the cooked pork mixture evenly over half of each dough circle. Fold the other half over the filling to create a semi-circle, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  6. 6
    Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the stuffed breads seam-side down in the pan.
  7. 7
    Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  8. 8
    Remove from the pan and let cool for a minute before slicing. Serve warm.

Note

For a vegetarian version, substitute the pork with mushrooms or tofu, seasoned similarly with soy sauce and five-spice.

If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.

Store leftover fried pork bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to restore crispiness.

Add chopped scallions or cilantro to the pork filling for extra freshness and flavor.
