Description
This is my take a traditional Arabian Peninsula and Southeast Asia dish - easiest ever.
Instruction tip
With soy sauce, oyster sauce and curry powder, always go for a quality product. It will make a real difference to your meal. e.g. with oyster sauce, look for at least 30% oyster extract (some - even expensive ones - have as little .5%).
Method
Step 1 of 7
I used to love buying these at Asian food fairs and always wanted to have a go at making my own. And when I did I was pleased with the outcome, and not just because it's very much cheaper to make than to buy.
Step 2 of 7
Finely chop the onion. Cry for about 20 seconds and wash your eyes
Step 3 of 7
Saute the chopped onion for about 2 minutes. Add the grated carrot and continue for another 2 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Mix all the cooked ingredients thoroughly.
Step 4 of 7
Mix the mince steak with the curry powder. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce and garlic. Optionally, add chilies. Cook the mix for a few minutes. TIP: If you have a large pan, you can cook the mince on one side and the onion and carrot on the other at the same time
Step 5 of 7
Making the pastry is normally the hardest part, but I use filo pastry, and it is very similar. Lay out two layers of filo pastry, one on top of the other. Repeat until you have 6 sets. With a large pastry brush or similar, brush beaten egg thickly on each upper layer
Step 6 of 7
Divide the cooked ingredients between the six prepared pastries. Optionally sprinkle with beansprouts and/or chopped spring onions.
Step 7 of 7
Flatten the mix and then fold the pastry up into a parcel (please see photo at the top). Fry in the pan in just a light film of olive oil for 2 minutes per side.
