Step-by-Step Instructions for Savoury Stuffed Breakfast Pancakes
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and gradually add warm water and neutral oil. Mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for about 8–10 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, drain the extra firm tofu and mash it in a bowl. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté finely shredded carrots, chopped scallions, and diced red bell peppers in a splash of toasted sesame oil for about 5 minutes until tender. Stir in the mashed tofu, turmeric, and black salt, cooking for another 2–3 minutes. Allow the filling to cool before using.
- After the dough has relaxed, divide it into 8 equal portions. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Aim for consistent thickness to ensure even cooking. Keeping the dough covered, roll out all portions, laying them aside.
- Take one wrapper, and place a generous spoonful of the tofu and vegetable filling in the center. Fold the wrapper over to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges together to seal securely. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of neutral oil. Carefully place the stuffed pancakes in the hot oil, frying for about 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Pour a small amount of water into the pan and cover with a lid for 2–3 minutes to steam.

Notes
Ensure to drain tofu well and roll the dough thin for optimal texture.
