In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and boiling water until a rough dough forms. Allow to rest for at least 20 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Divide the rested dough into equal portions, roll each into a thin circle on a floured surface.
Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold and pleat the edges to seal.
Heat a non-stick skillet, add oil, and cook the filled pies for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove from the skillet, let cool for a minute, and serve warm with dipping sauces.

For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat flour or lean meat alternatives. Customize the filling with your favorite herbs and spices.
