Five-spice beef mooncake
Five-spice beef mooncake is a savory twist on the traditional sweet mooncake. It typically contains a flavorful filling of minced beef mixed with aromatic five-spice powder, soy sauce, and other seasonings, wrapped in a pastry crust. This unique variation offers a delicious combination of savory and sweet flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon five-spice powder
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package pre-made pie crust dough (or you can make your own)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, five-spice powder, garlic, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a round ball.
- Roll out the pie crust dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into four equal squares.
- Place a ball of the beef mixture in the center of each dough square. Fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges to form a ball shape.
- Place the mooncakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Optional: You can use a mooncake mold to press designs onto the mooncakes before baking.
- Bake the mooncakes in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the mooncakes to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
