Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add in the vegetable oil and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
2
In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, ground beef, onion, garlic, soy sauce, and black pepper.
3
To assemble the bakwan, take a small piece of the dough and roll it out into a thin circle. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of the dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal the bakwan.
4
Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add a few of the bakwan to the pan and fry until they are golden brown and crispy.
5
Remove the bakwan from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with a side of spicy chili sauce or kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) for added flavor.
