Ingredients

For the Dough
  • 2 packs puff pastry (4 sheets)
  • 2 egg beaten with ½ tablespoons of water, yolks
For the Filling
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 yellow onion or ½ large onion, small, diced
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Chinese five spice seasoning (optional)
  • ¼ cup Wood ear mushrooms soaked and minced (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Defrost the puff pastry for 40 minutes until just pliable but still cold. Keep the sheets chilled while you work.
  2. Cut into 3-inch rounds or squares and chill the cut-outs on a parchment-lined tray.
  3. Cook the onion in a skillet for 1 minute. Add garlic (if using), then set aside to cool completely.
  4. In a bowl, combine pork, cooled onion, bouillon, five spice, salt, pepper, sugar, and wood ear mushrooms (if using).
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  6. Add 1½ tablespoons of filling onto half the pastry rounds. Brush edges with egg wash. Top with remaining pastry and crimp edges with a fork.
  7. Brush tops with more egg wash and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and the internal temp hits 145°F.
  8. Serve warm!

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold throughout preparation to ensure flaky layers.
  • Cool sauteed onions fully before mixing with pork to avoid greasy filling.
  • Microwave a small spoonful of filling to taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Seal pastries carefully with egg wash and crimp edges firmly to prevent leakage.
