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 (about 8 cm)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce and Mix: In a small bowl, whisk together corn flour, water, soy sauce, grated ginger, sugar, and sesame oil until smooth. Gradually add this sauce mixture to the ground beef and finely chopped onion, stirring continuously so the beef absorbs the sauce evenly.
  2. Assemble the Pies: Cut the store-bought pastry into approximately 8 cm squares. Spoon the beef mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Fold or cover and seal the edges by crimping with a fork to fully enclose the filling. Place the prepared pies on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  3. Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the tops of each pie with beaten egg yolk to give a shiny, golden finish after baking. Sprinkle sesame seeds generously on top of each pie.
  4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C (approximately 390°F). Bake the pies for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.

Notes

  • Add the sauce gradually while mixing with the beef to ensure it is fully absorbed and not watery.
  • Use cold pastry to make handling easier and achieve a flakier crust.
  • Ensure the edges are properly sealed to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • Sesame seeds can be adjusted or omitted according to taste.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
