Ingredients

Scale

Beef Filling

  • 250 g ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 teaspoons corn flour
  • 1/3 cup water

Pastry & Topping

  • 300 g store-bought pastry, cut into squares
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce and beef mixture: In a small bowl, combine the corn flour, water, soy sauce, grated ginger, sugar, and sesame oil to create a sauce. Gradually add this sauce to the ground beef and finely chopped onion mixture, stirring continuously to ensure the sauce is fully absorbed. Add the sauce slowly for even absorption.
  2. Assemble the pies: Cut the store-bought pastry into approximately 8 cm squares. Place a portion of the beef mixture onto each pastry square. Fold or cover as desired and crimp the edges shut with a fork to seal the filling inside. Place the sealed pies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
  3. Finish and bake: Brush the tops of the pies with beaten egg yolk to achieve a golden finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over each pie. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake the pies for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and golden brown.

Notes

  • Adding the sauce gradually ensures the beef mixture absorbs the flavors well without becoming too wet.
  • You can adjust sesame seed quantity according to your preference for texture and flavor.
  • Store-bought pastry can be puff pastry or shortcrust pastry based on your liking; both work well.
  • These pies are best served warm and can be accompanied by a simple salad or dipping sauce like chili or hoisin sauce.
  • Leftover pies can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
