Mix 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a bowl.

Pour in 1/2 cup of water and mix with hands until combined.

Refrigerate the dough after mixing.

Cut 3 hot dogs into small pieces.

Chop 1/2 onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper into small pieces.

Add the chopped vegetables to the hot dogs and mix with smoked herring.

Incorporate 2 eggs into the filling mixture.

Spread out the dough on a floured surface.

Add the filling into the dough, ensuring it's thick enough to prevent popping open during frying.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal well to prevent oil from entering.

Use a fork to create designs on the edges of the patties.

Heat oil until hot but not too hot to burn the outside of the patties.

Fry the patties until golden brown, flipping to cook evenly.

Drain the patties on a napkin to remove excess oil.
