Pastel Goreng/Gebakken Pastei/Fried Puff

I loved this snack. We usually bought it at the market. It is available here in some Asian store, but I missed the original taste. I remembered that we had some glass noodle, and since my husband bought me tool to form the snack, I wanted to try to make this snack for the children and husband myself.

Of course, as usual, we would freeze some portion for later consumption.

Ingredients 
(for the skin) - 1 recipe *I make 2 recipes of this skin
250 gr all purpose flour
1 egg
40 gr margarine
60-100 ml water (don't use all immediately, but add it bit by bit)
1/2 tsp salt
oil

(for the filling)
2-3 carrot (cut into pieces)
50 gr green peas (in bottle or can)
200 gr chicken fillet (cut into small pieces)
150-200 gr glass noodle (soak it first in hot boiled water)
3-4 cloves garlic, pressed
3-4 cloves shallot, cut in small pieces
salt
pepper
1-2 tbsp soy sauce
oil

2-3 hard boiled eggs, cut into 6 pieces per egg.

Method:
For the skin:
1. Mix the flour, margarine and egg. Add water bit by bit while kneading the dough until the dough does not stick on your hand or on the wall of the bowl.
2. Set aside.

For the filling:
1. Heat the oil and stir fry the garlic and shallot until caramelized
2. Add the chicken fillet, until it is almost golden brown.
3. Add carrot and pea.
4. Add the glass noodle.
5. Add salt, pepper, sugar, soy sauce to taste. Adjust the taste.

How to combine:
1. Take a portion of the dough. Roll the dough until thin and place it in the pastei form.
2. Put 1 table spoon of the filling and a piece of egg and press the sides together to form a nice half circle shape.
3. Heat oil in a wok and fry the pastei until it is brown.

I am a bit dissapointed with the skin. Although the taste is quite OK, but the skin is not as crispy as the ones I used to buy at the snack shops or markets in my home country, Indonesia. I am considering another trial, however, since there are more projects coming these few months, I think I have to delay the next trial. Now, it is time to enjoy the pastei with chilli sauce.
