Method
Dough Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the egg. Gradually mix in the flour with the egg using your hands or a fork. Slowly add water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- 2
Rest the Dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This will make it easier to roll out.
Filling Preparation
- 3
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onion, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and smooth. Set aside.
Assembly and Cooking
- 4
Roll Out the Dough
After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 2-inch squares.
- 5
Fill the Stars
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners of the dough over the filling to form a star shape, pressing the edges to seal tightly.
- 6
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 7
Fry the Cheese Stars
Carefully place the filled stars in the hot oil, a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 8
Serve
Serve the cheese stars warm, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
