Crispy pork and cabbage pies with a juicy, savory filling are a family street food staple. A protein-rich recipe with fresh, hearty ingredients.
Mix ground pork, chopped cabbage, finely sliced green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Stir thoroughly until the filling is cohesive.
Combine flour, eggs, water, and a pinch of salt to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth and allow to rest for 20 minutes to relax the gluten.
Divide the dough into 6 pieces. Roll each into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick, ensuring edges are evenly thin for better sealing.
Place a generous spoonful of pork-cabbage filling onto each dough circle. Fold over and press edges tightly to seal; crimp or pleat edges for best results.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry pies until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side, regulating heat so the crust cooks through without burning. Drain briefly on paper towels before serving.
