Ingredient

1 cup

chicken bouillon cube or 1 tbsp powder

1 bag

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Prepare your ingredient by washing and cutting all veggies. Start cooking the filing by heating the cooking oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, saute the garlic and onion. Add the ground pork then cook until color turns light brown (about 5 minutes)

* Step 2

Add oyster sauce, soy sauce, and Knorr chicken cube. Stir and cover the pot. Cook for 5 minutes. Put-in carrots, potatoes and bell peppers. Cook for another 5 minutes. Add the green peas, raisins, and sugar then simmer for 3 minutes. Season with salt and ground black pepper.

* Step 3

Finally add pepper jack cheese and mix thoroughly. Turn off the heat, drain the excess liquid, and set aside and let it cool.

* Step 4

Make the dough by combining the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl starting with the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well using a wire whisk. Cut the butter into small thin pieces place in the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.(the butter should be cold and solid before doing this)

* Step 5

Add water gradually and mix all the ingredients thoroughly until a dough is formed. You may use a pastry blender to ease the process. Divide the dough into individual pieces by grabbing a piece from the whole mixture and rolling it in your hand until a spherical shape is formed. Do this until all the dough is consumed. Set aside in a cool place for at least 20 minutes

* Step 6

Flatten the spherical dough by pressing it with your palm against a flat surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten it fully while creating a round shape. Arrange about a quarter to half a cup of filling at the middle of the flattened dough. Fold the dough so that opposite ends meet (you should have formed a half moon shaped dough) then press the edges and seal.

* Step 7

After all the fillings are consumed, crack the egg and separate the white from the yolk. Beat the egg white lightly and mix a little water. Glaze the crust by brushing the egg wash. Put a wax paper on top of a baking tray or grease the baking tray then arranged the sealed doughs. Pre-heat oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Bake the sealed doughs for 25 minutes at the same temperature. Remove from the oven.
