Chinese Beef Puff Pastry Pies: Savory Snack or Meal

In a bowl, combine ground beef, garlic, green onion, salt, cumin, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ground pepper, and cornstarch. Mix until well combined.

Prepare the Puff Pastry:

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.

Cut into squares or circles, about 10 cm (4 inches) in size.

Assemble the Pies:

Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or half-moon shape.

Press the edges with a fork to seal.

Apply Egg Wash:

Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
