Ingredients

  • Sweet potato - 200 grams
  • All-purpose flour - 150 grams
  • Water - 60 ml
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Scallions - 4 stalks
  • Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Peel and dice the sweet potato into small cubes, then steam or boil until tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. While the sweet potato is cooking, prepare the dough by mixing the all-purpose flour and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water until a dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Chop the scallions finely and set aside.
  5. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, mash them in a bowl and mix in the chopped scallions, black pepper, and sesame oil. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one rolled-out dough circle in the skillet, then spread half of the sweet potato mixture on one half of the dough, folding the other half over to create a semi-circle.
  8. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, adding more oil if needed. Repeat with the second dough circle and remaining filling.
  9. Transfer both pies to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes to ensure they are heated through and crispy.
  10. Remove from the oven, slice, and serve warm.
