Ingredients

For the dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup warm water (adjust as needed)

For the filling:

• 1/2 cup grated carrots
• 1/2 cup finely chopped spring onions
• 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
• 1/4 cup crumbled tofu (or your choice of protein)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

For frying:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or more as needed)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and mix until the oil is well incorporated.
2. Slowly add warm water, mixing as you go, until the dough comes together. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s smooth and elastic.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. In a separate bowl, combine the grated carrots, shredded cabbage, chopped spring onions, and crumbled tofu.
2. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Stir well to ensure the filling is evenly mixed. Set aside.

Step 3: Shape the Flatbreads

1. Once the dough has rested, divide it into small balls (about 8-10 pieces).
2. Roll each ball into a thin round about 4-5 inches in diameter.
3. Place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center of each round, then carefully fold the dough over the filling to create a sealed pocket.
4. Roll the filled dough gently to smooth it out and form a stuffed flatbread.

Step 4: Fry the Flatbreads

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
2. Place the stuffed flatbread in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
3. Repeat the frying process for the remaining flatbreads, adding more oil as needed.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Once the flatbreads are cooked, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
2. Serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as soy sauce, hoisin sauce, or a spicy chili sauce.

Pro Tips

• You can make the flatbreads even more flavorful by adding a pinch of chili flakes or chopped fresh chili to the filling for a little heat.
• Feel free to experiment with other fillings, such as mushrooms, spinach, or even ground meat for a different twist.
• These stuffed flatbreads can be frozen before frying. Just freeze them on a baking sheet, then store them in a ziplock bag, and fry them straight from the freezer when you’re ready to serve.
