Instructions
1
Prep
Finely dice 1 small shallot, grate 1 garlic clove and 0.25 thumb ginger, finely mince 0.5 lemongrass stalk. Cut puff pastry into a 20cm square. Measure out ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, and chilli flakes. Have 1 egg ready for filling and 1 beaten egg for wash.
2
Saute
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shallot, cook 2 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, lemongrass, and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 150g beef mince, cook 4–5 minutes breaking it up, until browned and liquid evaporates.
3
Build
Reduce heat to low. Add all spices, 1 tsp coconut sugar, and 1 tsp soy sauce to the beef. Stir 1–2 minutes until the mixture is dry and fragrant. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes on the tray.
4
Wrap
Lay pastry square on lined baking tray. Spoon cooled beef mixture into the centre leaving a 5cm border. Make a well in the beef centre and crack the whole egg directly into it. Fold opposite pastry sides over, pressing to seal, then fold remaining sides to create a parcel. Press all edges firmly.
5
Bake
Brush parcel all over with beaten egg and score the top lightly. Bake at 200°C for 22–25 minutes until the pastry is deep golden and puffed. Rest 2 minutes until the egg is set but the yolk remains soft.
6
Plate
Scatter 5g fresh coriander over the top. Serve immediately with 1 tbsp sambal oelek and lime wedges alongside.
