Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 300 g Ground pork
- 1 small Carrot (finely grated)
- 1 small Onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Fish sauce
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 2 tsp Oyster sauce
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Sugar
- 1 large Egg (beaten for sealing and egg wash)
- 1 tbsp Oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground pork to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the grated carrot, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ground black pepper, and sugar. Cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly dry. Remove the pan from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares to make a total of 8 squares.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the pork filling in the center of each puff pastry square. Be careful not to overfill to avoid spillage.
Brush the edges of the pastry square with the beaten egg. Fold the square over to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges together firmly and crimp with a fork to seal.
Transfer the filled meat pies to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a shiny golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Let the meat pies cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a snack or appetizer!
