Ingredients For Ground Beef Pastry

- Ground beef: Ground beef with 15-30% fat is ideal for this recipe. The lean beef can easily be too dry after baking.
- Corn flour: We call it corn flour but other places call corn starch. It is an ingredient used to thicken the sauce and add softness.
- Sesame oil: Sesame oil has a nutty flavor, but also adds smoothness to the meat.
- Water: Add the water little by little while you string the ground beef so it can be absorbed gradually. The ground beef from our supermarket is very dry and can take in lots of water. Always adjust the amount of water according to the amount of moisture in the ground beef. If the ground beef is too moist, add less water.
Recipe Notes:

- Corn flour (corn starch) and water mixture are to retain the moisture in the filling.
- The water might seem excessive but the ground beef can absorb lots of water once you stir the mixture. Stir for about 5 minutes until it becomes a moist and sticky mixture.
