Green Onion "Bings"

In this city, they sell "bings" with meat and green onions inside. One day, Alvin and I wanted to do an activity together, so we tried to make it. Here is what the process looked like:

First we made the dough. I didn't have a recipe, but I have made a lot of things with flour in the last few months. I have used more flour in the last 5 months than maybe I have used in one year in Dallas:
1-Make Dough

Then we formed the dough into 5 inch logs:
2-Rough Dough

The secret to making the dough was letting it sit in oil for 10 minutes. Bad for you, but it makes it easier to roll:
3-Dough Rolls

We made the meat out of ground lamb, green onions, white pepper, sesame oil, and salt:
4-Make Meat

Then we rolled out the dough:
5-Roll Dough

We put the filling in a ball at the top of the dough:
6-Wrap Meat

Then we wrapped until no filling is sticking out, and then stretched the dough to wrap several times more in the same direction.
8-End Wrapping

Here is what the roll looks like:
9a-Unsquished Dough

Then we squished the roll down:
10-Squished Dough

Then we pan fried it in oil, and here is the final product:
11-Final Product

It tasted pretty good. The street vendors sell really big ones, but I do like this tiny bite one.
