Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add the lukewarm water and oil, then knead for 5 minutes until you have a soft dough.
- Cover and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until doubled in volume.
- Meanwhile, steam or poach the fish for 10 minutes, flake it and mix with the sliced onion, crushed garlic, chopped chili, vinegar and thyme.
- Divide the dough into 4 balls and flatten them into discs about 1 cm thick.
- Heat the frying oil to 170 °C in a deep pan.
- Drop a dough disc into the oil: it should puff up into a pocket. Turn it and fry until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes in total.
- Drain on paper towels, split it open on the side and fill with the fish, lettuce and tomato slices.
- Serve right away, while the bokit is hot and crispy.
Variations and tips
Cheese version. Replace the fish with slices of cheese and a slice of ham for the younger eaters.
