Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion
- 1 package Pepperidge Farm puff pastry sheets (2 sheets, 9x9")
- 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Defrost & Prepare Filling: Thaw puff pastry at room temperature for 15 minutes. Set aside. Mix ground pork, onions, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by cooking a teaspoon of the filling in the microwave or pan.
- Preheat & Cut Pastry: Preheat oven to 400°F. Unfold and stack the two pastry sheets, then cut into nine 3″ x 3″ squares. You should have a total of 18 squares. 2 squares for each pie.
- Assemble Pies: Add filling to each bottom square. Brush edges with egg wash, cover with the top square, and seal by pinching edges together with fingers or use a fork for a more decorative touch. Pierce tops gently with a fork and brush with egg wash.
- Bake and Enjoy: Arrange on a lined baking sheet with some spacing in-between. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Enjoy warm out of the oven. Store any extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer at 380°F for 5 minutes. For longer storage, freeze pies wrapped in plastic wrap for at least 6 months.
Notes
Keep puff pastry cold while cutting for clean edges.
Bake pies right after assembly for best results.
If you’d like to include liver pate, particularly store-bought varieties, note that they can be salty. Be sure to adjust by reducing or omitting the amount of salt in this recipe. I’d use the smallest liver pate can (2.65 oz/75 g).
