Crispy Air Fryer Pork Meat Pies

Enjoy golden, flaky pork meat pies made effortlessly without kneading dough. Packed with savory minced pork and fresh green onions, cooked to perfection in the air fryer.

Ingredients

• 300 g fresh pork
• 3 stalks green onion
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1/2 tsp pepper powder
• 2 sheets scallion pancake dough
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp black sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1Mince the fresh pork

   

   Place the fresh pork onto a wooden cutting board and mince it finely using a cleaver until it reaches a uniform consistency.

   Tip: Chop the meat thoroughly and evenly to create a tender texture for the filling.
2. 2Add green onions to the pork

   

   Transfer the freshly minced pork into a decorative bowl and top it with freshly chopped green onions.

   Tip: Ensure the bowl is spacious enough to accommodate the seasonings added in the next step.
3. 3Season and mix the filling

   

   Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking oil, oyster sauce, and pepper powder to the bowl with the minced pork and green onions, then mix everything thoroughly.

   Tip: Let the seasoned meat mixture marinate for about 20 minutes to fully absorb the flavors.
4. 4Roll out the dough

   

   Take a sheet of scallion pancake dough and roll it out evenly and thinly on a floured wooden cutting board using a wooden rolling pin.

   Tip: Roll gently to maintain an even thickness across the entire sheet of dough.
5. 5Add the meat filling

   

   Scoop a portion of the prepared and marinated meat filling and place it directly into the center of the rolled-out dough sheet.

   Tip: Keep the filling centered to make folding the edges easier and cleaner.
6. 6Fold the dough into a square

   

   Fold the four sides of the dough inward over the meat filling, overlapping them neatly to form a sealed square shape.

   Tip: Press the edges gently as you fold to ensure the filling is securely enclosed inside.
7. 7Brush with Egg Wash

   

   Brush a layer of yellow egg wash evenly over the entire surface of the folded meat pie. This helps achieve a golden, glossy finish during baking.

   Tip: Make sure to coat the edges and corners evenly so the pastry browns uniformly.
8. 8Sprinkle black sesame seeds

   

   Sprinkle a generous amount of black sesame seeds evenly over the egg-washed surface of the folded meat pie to add a nutty aroma and visual appeal before baking.

   Tip: Make sure the egg wash is still wet so the sesame seeds adhere properly.
9. 9Cook in the air fryer

   

   Place the prepared meat pie into the air fryer basket. Cook at 180 degrees for 25 minutes, making sure to flip it halfway through for an even, crispy finish.

   Tip: Do not skip flipping halfway through to ensure both sides achieve a golden, uniform crispness.
