CHIVE BOXES RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix flour, salt, and oil
• Add in water slowly while continuing to stir with chopsticks until large chunks start to form
• Knead until smooth ~5 minutes at which point the dough should be slightly tacky to touch but not sticky
• Cover and let rest for 30 minutes
• Mix chives and oil together, then mix in the rest of the filling well.
• Divide dough in half. Then, roll out each half into a log and divide into 8 pieces, yielding 16 total pieces. Add the pieces you’re not working on back into the covered bowl to keep them from drying out.
• Roll each piece into a ball, flatten with your palm, and then roll out into a 4.5-5 inch round. Take the rolling pin over the edges so that you don’t have real thick edges.
• Spoon a heap of filling into the center, fold the dough in half so you half a semi-circle, and seal the edges closed with your fingers.
• Then use your thumb to pinch small pleats into the dough. Alternatively, follow a simpler folding technique that I used for my beef meat pies.
• To cook: heat up oil over medium heat in a non-stick pan so that it covers the bottom layer of the skillet. Pan fry each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
• To freeze: freeze the boxes on a tray in a single layer, not letting the boxes touch. Once they’ve solidified (~2 hours) remove them from the tray and transfer to a ziploc.

Steps:

• Add 1 teaspoon of table salt, 1 teaspoon of cooking oil to the flour, add boiling water and make a dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it stand for 20 minutes.
• Finely chop the leeks, finely chop the fungus, and put them in a glass bowl.
• Put oil in the pot, stir and fry the eggs into pieces, let cool, pour into the leeks, add edible oil, mix well, add salt, chicken essence, thirteen fragrant, and mix well.
• Wake up so that the dough is pulled into small balls, rolled into dough, wrapped in the adjusted filling, pinched the top to wrap the pattern.
• Brush the oil over medium, add it to the pan, and fry on low heat until both sides are golden and crispy.
