Vegan Scallion Pockets

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the filling:

• 2 cups chopped scallions (green onions)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

For frying:

• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Start by making the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly add the warm water while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Once the dough starts to come together, knead it with your hands until smooth. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup or agave nectar, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
3. After the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a small circle using a rolling pin.
4. Place a spoonful of the scallion filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, then pinch the edges to seal.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the scallion pockets in the pan, seam side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Once cooked, transfer the scallion pockets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
7. Serve the vegan scallion pockets hot, with your favorite dipping sauce if desired. Enjoy!
