🛒 Ingredients

👨‍🍳 Instructions

① Make the Dough

In a large bowl, combine:

• Flour
• Cool boiled water
• Yeast
• Egg
• Salt

🥢 Use chopsticks to stir the whole time — do NOT knead with your hands!

Stir until:

• No dry flour remains
• No lumps

That's it.

Important:
This dough has a very high hydration level, so it'll be super sticky if you try to knead it by hand.

Then let it rest and rise fully.

⭐ Make sure it rises enough — otherwise the dough won't be stretchy.

② Prepare the Filling

Mix the ground pork with:

• Sichuan pepper oil (highly recommended)
• White pepper
• Chopped scallions
• Oyster sauce
• Soy sauce

If you're worried the meat might turn out dry, add:

• A little potato starch

❗ Try not to add extra water.

③ Wrap the Pancakes

Gently stir the risen dough again to release air.

Lightly oil your hands with vegetable oil or lard.

Each piece of dough should be about:

200 g

Steps:

1. Roll into a ball
2. Place the filling in the center
3. Seal the opening
4. Gently flatten with your hands or a rolling pin

④ Pan-Fry

Brush a non-stick pan with oil.

🔥 Medium-low heat

Don't use high heat, or:

• The outside will burn
• The meat won't be cooked through

Steps:

1. Fry one side until golden brown
2. Brush a little oil before flipping
3. Fry the other side until golden brown

Serve immediately.

💡 Keys to Success

• ❗ Don't knead the dough by hand
• ❗ High hydration dough is the way to go
• ⭐ Let the dough rise fully
• ⭐ Sichuan pepper oil makes all the difference
• Medium-low heat for slow frying
• Try not to add water to the filling
