Delicious chinese meat pies recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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

  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and let it warm up before adding 1 pound of ground beef.
  3. Cook until browned and crumbled—about 7-10 minutes—stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Once the beef is cooked, toss in 3 finely chopped green onions, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger.
  5. Stir them into the beef mixture and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of agar-agar powder while mixing well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  7. Allow this hearty mixture to simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes so flavors meld beautifully.
  8. While your filling simmers away, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  9. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  10. Roll out thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut them into squares about 4×4 inches each.
  11. Spoon a generous amount of filling into the center of each square;
  12. Fold over diagonally to form triangles or rectangles depending on your preference.
  13. Seal edges by pressing with a fork or crimping with your fingers.
  14. Place assembled pies onto the prepared baking sheet and brush tops lightly with egg wash or milk.
  15. 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.
