FILLING

*Recipe is included in this collection. TO MAKE FILLING: Mince pork fat with water chestnuts then add shrimp and mince together. Mix with rest of ingredients. WRAPPING: Pinch off a small piece of dough, the size of a walnut, and roll in your palms until it becomes a ball. Flatten slightly and roll out to a 3 inch round disc about ½ inch thick.

(During rolling, if the dough becomes sticky, flour lightly with potato flour.) Place 1 teaspoonful filling in center. Bring opposite sides together and pinch to form a semi circle. For a fancier appearance, pleat or flute edge by pressing it with your thumb nail. Press sesame seeds on both sides. DEEP FRYING: Heat oil on medium high heat. Deep fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until turnovers float. They will brown slightly due to the small amount of potato flour added to the dough. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
