Take one portion of oil dough, shape it into a round disc, wrap one portion of oil paste inside, seal the edges, roll it into a tongue-like shape, then roll it up from top to bottom. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes. Repeat for each portion.

• 6. Fold the pastry from both ends toward the center, then press it flat. Wrap it with one portion of filling, use your left hand to support and rotate while using the other hand to slowly tuck the pastry inward to seal the opening.
