How to Make Crispy Fried Corners: A Step-by-Step Guide

Fried corners (菜角) are a beloved crispy snack, popular for their golden crust and savory filling. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.

Ingredients: For the dough, mix 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ tsp salt, and ¾ cup warm water. Knead into a smooth dough, let it rest for 30 minutes. For the filling, sauté 1 lb minced pork with chopped cabbage, shredded carrots, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp ginger, and a pinch of pepper until cooked. Cool completely.

Steps:

1. Roll the dough: Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each into a thin circle (about 4-5 inches diameter).

2. Add filling: Place 1-2 tbsp filling in the center, fold the dough into a semicircle, and seal the edges tightly by pressing with a fork to prevent leakage.

3. Deep-fry: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the corners in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain excess oil on a paper towel.

Tips: Ensure the filling is dry to avoid a soggy texture. Serve hot with dipping sauce. Enjoy this crispy, flavorful treat as a snack or side dish!
