Golden meat-filled coins

Yield: 18 Servings

Measure Ingredient
2¼ cup Flour
½ cup Boiling water
⅓ cup Cold water
½ cup Ground chicken
3 tablespoons Green onion -- chopped
1 tablespoon Ginger root -- minced
¼ cup Chicken broth
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
2 teaspoons Sesame oil
½ teaspoon Sugar
¼ teaspoon White pepper
4 tablespoons Oil -- for frying

FILLING

Place flour in a bowl. Add boiling water; stirring with chopsticks or a fork. Gradually stir in cold water, mixing until dough holds together. On a lightly floured board, knead dough until smooth and satiny, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Combine filling ingredients in a bowl; mix well. On a lightly floured board, roll dough into a cylinder, then cut into 18 portions. To make each coin, roll a portion of dough into a 3½" circle about ½" thick; keep remaining dough covered to prevent drying. Place a rounded tbsp of filling in center of dough.

Gather edges of dough around filling; pinch to seal. Roll filled dough into a ball; flatten with the palm of your hand until ½" thick. Place a wide frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add 2 tbsp oil, swirling to coat sides. Add coins, half at a time, and cook until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
