Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 120 g hot water
- 45 g room-temperature water
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground Sichuan pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 300 g ground pork
- 6 stalks scallions
- 4 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Combine flour, hot water, room-temperature water, and cooking oil in a mixing bowl. Stir with chopsticks until a rough dough forms. Knead the dough until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 20 minutes. Divide into 8 equal portions, shape into balls, and let rest for another 10 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix ground pork, scallions, ginger, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, Sichuan pepper, white pepper, and water until sticky.
- Flatten a dough ball into a ½ cm thick disc. Place ⅛ of the filling in the center. Pleat and seal the edges to form a pie. Repeat for remaining dough and filling.
- Heat cooking oil in a skillet over low heat. Place pies in the skillet, flatten to 2½ cm thick, and fry until golden on both sides, covering with a lid to cook through.
