Delicious prawn pastries to celebrate Chinese New Year, bringing happiness with every bite.
Ingredients:
  • 4 dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 25g dried mung bean vermicelli noodles
  • 27.30 gm peanut oil
  • 2 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled, cut into matchsticks
  • 250g finely shredded savoy cabbage
  • 21.00 gm soy sauce
  • 125g pork mince
  • 175g green prawn meat, coarsely chopped
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 3 sheets (25 x 25cm) frozen butter puff pastry, just thawed
  • Sesame seeds, to sprinkle
  • Sweet & sour sauce, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a heatproof bowl, place the mushrooms and cover with boiling water. Let soak for 30 minutes, then drain. Trim and discard the stems, and thinly slice.
  • Place the noodles in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them sit for 10 minutes to soften, then drain and cut into short lengths with kitchen scissors.
  • Heat a wok over high heat and add half of the oil until it starts smoking. Stir in the garlic, ginger, onion, carrot, and cabbage, and cook for 3 minutes until the veggies begin to soften. Pour in the soy sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the liquid evaporates. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • - Heat the remaining oil in the wok over high heat until sizzling. - Stir in the mince and prawn, breaking up any lumps, and cook for 3 minutes until they change color. - Add the mince mixture, mushroom, noodles, and half the egg to the vegetables. Mix well. - Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Allow it to cool to room temperature before using.
  • - Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. - Cut 1 pastry sheet in half and place 1/3 cup of the mince mixture lengthways along the center of each piece of pastry. - Lightly brush the edges of the pastry with some of the remaining egg. - Fold over the pastry to enclose the filling and press the edges to seal. - Cut the pastry crossways into 4 pieces and place on the prepared tray. - Repeat with the remaining pastry, mince mixture, and egg. - Brush the tops of the pastries with egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake for 18 minutes or until crisp and golden. - Serve with sweet & sour sauce.
