Method

1. 1 Toss the chopped cabbage with salt for 15 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water; the cabbage juice is the main reason the filling becomes soggy.
2. 2 Mix the minced meat with cabbage, chives, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil, then stir for 3 minutes.
3. 3 Wrap the dough around the dough pieces and arrange them in a circle in a pan of hot oil, frying for 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
4. 4 Mix 8g of flour with 150ml of water, then pour it into the pan and cover for 8 minutes — this flour mixture creates a crispy lattice that connects the pancakes together.
5. 5 Open the lid and fry for another 3 minutes until the mesh is dry and crispy, then flip the whole piece onto a plate.
