Chinese Crispy Beef Pies are a savory snack featuring ground beef seasoned with soy sauce and spices, encased in thin dough wrappers, and pan-fried to a golden, crispy perfection. These pies combine a flavorful beef filling with a satisfyingly crunchy exterior, making them ideal for appetizers or a tasty snack.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)

For the Dough

  • 12 to 15 dough wrappers (store-bought wonton or egg roll wrappers)
  • Vegetable oil for pan-frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with soy sauce, five-spice powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and grated ginger if using. Mix thoroughly until the spices and sauce are evenly distributed.
  2. Fill the Dough Wrappers: Lay out one dough wrapper at a time on a clean surface. Place about one tablespoon of the beef mixture in the center of each wrapper. Carefully fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal, preventing any filling from leaking out during cooking.
  3. Pan-Fry the Pies: Heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the filled pies in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough edges are sealed tightly to avoid filling leakage during frying.
  • You can customize the spicing to your preference by adding chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • These pies are best served hot and fresh for maximum crispiness.
  • If preferred, you can bake these pies at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown as a healthier alternative.
