• Heat oil and fry pork, onion and peas. Add in seasonings. Fry for a few seconds more and remove. Use for filling.

• Put flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Rub in margarine until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add egg yolk and water and mix to a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let stand for 10 minutes.

• Roll out dough into long sausage and divide into pieces about the size of a golf ball.

• Place one ball of dough on a lightly-floured surface and roll it into a thin round circle, 3 inches in diameter. Repeat with the rest of the balls of dough.

• Place 2 tablespoons of the filling in the centre of each circle.

• Fold dough into half to enclose filling and form a half-moon. Pinch the edges together to seal. Do the same for the rest of the dough and filling.

• Heat oil and deep fry the meat puffs over low-medium heat for about 5 minutes or until they are golden brown in color.

• Remove and drain.

• Serve hot.
