Chive Pockets

Directions

Wrapper

1. Combine ingredients and mix.

2. To make the dough easier to knead, spray some cooking oil into a clean plastic bag and add the dough into the bag.

3. Then leave dough overnight in refrigerator. Or leave it at room temp for 1 hour.

4. Portion the dough into 12 portions. Dust hands with dry flour if dough is too sticky.

5. Roll each portion into a circle. When rolling dough, roll from edges so the center of the circle is slightly thicker.

Filling

1. Combine all the ingredients into a pan and stir fry for 4 minutes.

Folding and pan-frying

1. Add filling to the center of a portioned circular dough. Less filling + thicker dough = less likely to break and easier to fold.

2. Fold the circle in half and stamp the edges with a fork.

3. Heat pan to medium heat and add cooking oil. 

4. Pan fry until browned.

Personal Connection

Taiwan has wonderful vegetarian food. I think chive pocket is one example. It's filling, has a variety of textures from the bouncy glass noodles, firm braised tofu, crunchy chives, and soft eggs.
