Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 lb ground pork or chicken (optional)
- 1 cup finely chopped napa cabbage
- 1/2 cup grated carrot
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add warm water, mixing to form a smooth dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes, cover, and let rest for 30 minutes. - Prepare the Filling:
In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sauté for a minute until fragrant. Add the ground meat (if using) and cook until browned. Stir in the napa cabbage, carrot, green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the mixture is well combined. Set aside to cool. - Assemble the Stuffed Breakfast:
Divide the dough into equal-sized portions. Roll out each portion into a thin round. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges and pinch them together to seal, forming a stuffed ball or pouch. - Cook the Stuffed Breakfast:
Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the stuffed dough seam-side down in the skillet and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. - Serve:
Serve hot with a side of soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy your savory Chinese-style stuffed breakfast fresh off the pan!
