Asian mince meat
- 400 g mince meat beef or turkey
- ½ tbsp sesame oil + extra to fry in
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- ½ tbsp Siracha
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
Flat bread dough
- 100 g white self-rising flour
- 100 g oat flour
- 180 g Greek yogurt
Asian mince prep
Mince the garlic and fresh ginger.
Mix all ingredients for the Asian sauce and add into mince, before pan frying it.
Put some sesame oil in the frying pan and cook the mince mixture for 10 minutes for the mince to cook through and the sugar from the ingredients starting to caramelize.
Drain mince meat and let it cool, before putting on rolled out flat bread.
Dough prep
Mix all ingredients to a smooth dough. Add more flour or yogurt as needed to get the dough together.
Divide into 40 gram dough balls, about 10 dough balls.
Use your rolling pin to roll out the dough balls into roundels.
Assembling the buns
Add 1-2 tbsp mince meat on each roundel, fold together and cook with the folded side down first.
In a dry frying pan, on medium heath, cook the buns with the folded side down first. About a minute and a half on each side. As the frying pan heat up, you might have to readjust the heath or cooking time.
Serve with Asian dipping sauce:
Soy sauce
White vinegar
Sesame oil
Fresh chili or Sriracha
You can easily make your own self-rising flour by adding 1 tsp baking powder per 100g flour.
