Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, warm water, and salt to create a dough. Knead the mixture for about 5 minutes, then cover it and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Pork Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, five spice powder, cumin, soy sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Thoroughly mix until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Create the Cabbage Mixture: In another bowl, mix the shredded cabbage, chopped scallions, garlic powder, sesame oil, and white pepper until evenly combined.
  4. Divide the Dough: After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, ensuring you keep any unused dough covered to prevent drying out.
  5. Roll and Fill the Dough: Roll each piece of dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Lightly oil it before spreading a portion of the pork filling at one end, followed by a scoop of the cabbage mixture.
  6. Shape the Pancakes: Roll the dough tightly from the filling end, forming a cylinder shape. Gently flatten it to create a pancake.
  7. Fry the Pancakes: Heat oil in a skillet to 300°F (150°C). Fry each pancake for about 3 minutes per side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
  8. Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
