- 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 puff pastry sheets (store-bought)
- 1 tsp sesame oil

- 1 egg for wash
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant.
- Add the beef: Stir in ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Season it up: Mix in soy sauce and sesame oil with green onions; let simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Roll out the pastry: Unroll puff pastry sheets on a floured surface; slightly flatten them with a rolling pin.
- Fill and fold: Cut pastry into circles using a round cutter or glass. Place spoonfuls of beef filling in the center, fold over, and crimp edges tightly.
