Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 500g Gochujang (Korean Chili Paste)
  • 200 ml Sesame Oil
  • - Rice Vinegar
  • 320 g Puff Pastry Sheet
  • 100 g Til
  • 250g Green Chilli
  • 6 pcs White Eggs
  • 90 g Dark Soy Sauce
  • 500 g Brown Sugar

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  2. 2. In a mixing bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to create a smooth marinade.
  3. 3. Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Stir in the prepared marinade and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens and coats the beef evenly. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. 4. Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into 8 equal squares. Place each square into a muffin tin, pressing gently to form a tartlet shell. Trim any excess pastry edges.
  5. 5. Fill each tartlet shell with a generous spoonful of the caramelized beef mixture. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  6. 6. Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
  7. 7. Remove the tartlets from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with sesame seeds, finely sliced scallions, and a sprinkle of green chili for added heat.
  8. 8. Serve warm and enjoy the spicy, savory flavors in every bite.
