Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Asian-Style Ground Beef Hand Pies
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine corn flour, water, soy sauce, grated ginger, sugar, and sesame oil to create a flavorful paste. Gradually add this mixture to the ground beef and finely chopped onion, using your hands or a spatula to mix thoroughly, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Roll out your store-bought pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Slice the pastry into 8 cm squares, yielding about 12-16 squares. Keep them covered with a kitchen towel.
  3. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). On each pastry square, place a heaping tablespoon of the beef filling, fold the pastry over to create a triangle, and press the edges together. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
  4. Arrange the assembled pies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg yolks and brush over the tops of the pies. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
