Soak salt fish overnight in vinegar and lemon water.

Wash off the vinegar and lemon water, then add fresh water and boil the salt fish.

Slice onions, tomatoes, and scallions thinly and set aside.

In a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to room temperature water and then add 1 pack of yeast, setting it aside to froth.

In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of butter, a teaspoon of baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of sugar.

Add the frothy yeast water to the flour mixture and mix to form a dough.

Roll the dough into small balls, then flatten them into discs.

Fry the discs in hot oil, bathing them with oil until golden brown.

In a skillet with hot oil, sauté the sliced veggies until soft, then add crushed salt fish and season with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, sazon, and hot sauce.

Stuff the fried dough with the salt fish mixture.
