Method

1. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and warm water together to form a dough and knead for 30 minutes. Leave it for a while for the dough to turn soft and rise up.

2. Beat eggs and stir-fry, then set aside.

3. Chop the chives then add 1 tablespoon of oil and mix well.

4. Soak the vermicelli in water for 15 minutes, then drain and chop.

5. In a bowl, mix the chopped vermicelli, eggs and seasoning (oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper), then add the chopped chives and mix well.

6. Once the dough has risen, roll it into a long strip and cut into 8 pieces. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough.

7. Add the vermicelli mixture into the middle of the dough pieces and close over, then wrap with cling film. Let is set for about 5 minutes.

8. In a pan, fry the chive cakes (after removing the cling film) with some oil until golden brown and crispy. Serve and enjoy.
