Discover the ultimate asian-style beef & vegetable pie recipe! Minced meat pies are found in many Asian cuisines in different versions, either baked or steamed. Τhey are a favorite street food as well as a popular side dish for family gatherings.
Dough Preparation
In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour with the lukewarm water, olive oil, and salt. Knead until a soft and homogeneous dough forms. Cover it and let it rest for about 30 minutes to make it more elastic and easier to roll out.
Preparing the Filling
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat the sesame oil in a large pan and sauté the spring onion until softened and fragrant. Add the ground beef and sauté until it changes color and is well-cooked. Pour in the soy sauce and a little pepper, stir, and remove the pan from the heat.
Mixing
Allow the filling to cool slightly, then add the Asian vegetables, stirring gently so they maintain their freshness and texture.
Assembly
Divide the dough into small pieces, roll them out into thin sheets, and cut them into circles. Place a little filling in the center of each circle, fold them into half-moons, and press the edges firmly to seal.
Baking
Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25–30 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy.
