Ingredients
Method
The Filling
- Either finely chop the coconut, onion, garlic, ginger, and jalapenos, or put them all in a blender with the lemon juice. If blending, do not turn into a paste, try and make everything a small mince.
- Drain the water from the tuna. Add to a bowl with the rest of the ingredients, stir thoroughly to combine. Taste to see if it needs any adjustments.
The Dough
- Combine the flour and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl. Add warm water, salt, and work the dough. You want a dough that stretches but isn't sticky. Add more water or flour as needed.
- Tear off a piece of the dough, and flatten as much as possible, into a pancake. Make a depression in the middle.
- Add a scoop of the filling, close the dough around the filling. Repeat until you run out of filling or dough.
- Fill a pot with about 3 inches of vegetable oil, and heat up on medium. Once the oil is hot, add your dumplings. Fry about 8 at a time. Fry for about 8 minutes, or until dumplings are golden brown. Repeat until you finish all the dumplings!
