Use a cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto a surface lightly dusted with flour, forming 10 cm circles

Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center and lift all the edges to form a roll, pressing tight to seal

Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover with a clean cloth

At this point, the rolls can be frozen for up to 1 month and fried later

Heat enough oil to have a depth of about 7 cm

Fry the rolls in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per roll

Drain on paper towels

Use warm green scallion strips to tie the rolls
