They offer a rich diversity of fillings, shapes, and flavors, catering to a wide range of tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine a cross between a giant <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/dumpling-guide\/\">dumpling<\/a> and a flatbread, pan-fried to a golden shine. If you enjoyed my recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/spiced-beef-flatbread\/\">Crispy Stuffed Flatbread<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/spring-onion-pancake\/\">Scallion Pancakes<\/a>, you&rsquo;ll find these meat pies to be an excellent alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My version showcases how my parents make them, using a mixture of fatty ground meat and a generous amount of scallions. However, I&rsquo;ve enhanced their dough recipe by adding extra water and a little oil, which results in a more tender mouthfeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pan-fried-chinese-meat-pies-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"cooked meat pies in a pile.\" class=\"wp-image-30609\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d3f2e8af2e2483cc84a11cf1d505e0d2\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"top-tips\">Top tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As usual, I&rsquo;d like to first point out a few tips to help you achieve the best result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"background-color:#ecf4f2\" class=\"wp-block-list has-background\">\n<li>Allow enough time to rest the dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add water\/stock to the filling for a juicy texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watch the tutorial to learn the assembly technique<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freeze uncooked pies and cook whenever you wish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c6a44df7e06e0ea4e995d6a83312fa65\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"make-the-dough\">Make the dough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the dough, you only need three elements: all-purpose flour, water (both hot and room-temperature), and cooking oil.

Wrap it with the dough as tightly as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you find this method challenging, simply shape the pie into a flat half-moon, like how a <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/chinese-chive-pockets\/\">Chinese Chive Pocket<\/a> looks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3610c6dac2f494fc87f08ee436ad9c5a\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"pan-fry-the-pies\">Pan-fry the pies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2250\" height=\"1428\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flatening-chinese-meat-pie-1.jpg\" alt=\"flattening a meat pie.\" class=\"wp-image-30623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flatening-chinese-meat-pie-1.jpg 2250w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flatening-chinese-meat-pie-1-400x254.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flatening-chinese-meat-pie-1-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flatening-chinese-meat-pie-1-1024x650.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flatening-chinese-meat-pie-1-768x487.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flatening-chinese-meat-pie-1-2048x1300.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2250px) 100vw, 2250px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a heavy-bottomed skillet\/frying pan.
