Prepare a mixture of ground pork and beef, adding processed onion, black pepper, and salt to taste, along with a little bit of water.

Cover the meat mixture with plastic wrap and set aside while the dough rises.

Once the dough has doubled in size, roll it into a long sausage shape and cut into equal-sized pieces.

Roll each piece into small golf ball-sized balls and cover with plastic wrap.

Fold the sides of the dough over the meat, leaving a small quarter-sized opening in the middle.
