Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef, lean
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon agar-agar powder
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Puff pastry sheets, thawed
Instructions
- Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and let it warm up before adding 1 pound of ground beef.
- Cook until browned and crumbled—about 7-10 minutes—stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the beef is cooked, toss in 3 finely chopped green onions, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger.
- Stir them into the beef mixture and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
- Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of agar-agar powder while mixing well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Allow this hearty mixture to simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes so flavors meld beautifully.
- While your filling simmers away, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut them into squares about 4×4 inches each.
- Spoon a generous amount of filling into the center of each square;
- Fold over diagonally to form triangles or rectangles depending on your preference.
- Seal edges by pressing with a fork or crimping with your fingers.
- Place assembled pies onto the prepared baking sheet and brush tops lightly with egg wash or milk.
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Store leftover meat pies in airtight containers to maintain freshness.
Reheat in the oven for crispiness instead of using a microwave.
Serve with soy sauce or chili oil for added flavor.
Use fresh herbs for enhanced aroma and taste in filling.
