FRIED PORK PATTIES

Preparation Method :

• Sieve flour into a bowl. Stir in boiling water with a knife adding a little cold water if necessary to take up any excess flour.
• When cool, knead on lightly floured board until smooth. Cover with a basin and rest 30 minutes.
• Combine pork, salt, pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil and shallots. Chill 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough with hands to form a sausage-shaped roll. Cut into 20 even portions. Lightly roll each portion into a ball.
• Roll out each ball into a 10 cm circle, with the edge thinner than the center. The dough circles can be stacked with a piece of greaseproof paper between each.
• Cover with a basin to prevent drying out.
• Divide pork into 20 portions. Place one in center of each piece of dough.
• Bring the edges together to cover filling. Twist them slightly and pinch to seal.
• Place seal side down onto board and reshape into a round patty. These may be made in advance and refrigerated.
• Heat oil in a flat-bottomed pan. Reduce heat and fry patties 4 minutes on each side until brown. Serve hot with dip sauce.
• To make sauce, warm oil in a sauce pan, stir in soy sauce, vinegar and sugar to dissolve.
• Cool and serve in a small bowl.
