Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 500 g (1.1 lb) chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic finely grated
- ¼ tsp ground white pepper
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 250 g (8.8oz) swiss brown or button mushrooms, halved
- 1¼ cups sour cream
- 1 Tbsp miso paste
- 2 Tbsp corn flour cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
- ½ cup finely sliced spring onion scallions
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
- 2 egg yolks lightly whisked
- sesame seeds black or white for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/360°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, soy sauce, garlic and pepper. Marinate for a while.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken and marinade and allow to sear for 2-3 minutes or until golden on the first side. Then flip and stir-fry for another 2 minutes or until evenly coloured.
- Add in the mushrooms and stir-fry for another couple of minutes. Then stir through the sour cream and miso paste. Turn the heat to low and simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
- Stir through the cornflour mixture and simmer for another half a minute or until thickened. Then stir through the spring onions. Remove from heat and divide the mixture among 1 cup capacity ramekins (or use one large 4 cup capacity baking dish).
- Cut the pastry sheet into 4 squares large enough to cover the tops of your ramekins.
- Working quickly (because the filling is hot), drape the pastry over the top of the filling. Brush the tops with the egg yolks and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Place the pies onto a baking tray and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the pastry tops are golden. Serve warm.
