In a mixing bowl, measure 7 cups of all-purpose flour.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour and mix.

Add 4 tablespoons of margarine to the mixture and combine well.

Gradually add water to form a dough, mixing bit by bit to avoid making it too soft or too hard.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to your desired thickness.

Cut the dough into circles using a knife instead of a cutter.

Prepare the filling by frying diced onions and tuna together with pepper, ginger, garlic, and scallion in a pan.

Once the filling is ready, place it in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges using a fork.

Heat oil in a pan until hot, then fry the pies in batches until golden brown.

Remove the fried pies from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
