2longred chili (red chilli in British English) - de-seeded, chopped
5centimetresginger - finely chopped
400gramsmushrooms - mixed
150mlbeef stock (beef broth or beef bouillon) - heated
2smallstar anise
2tablespoonsoyster sauce
2tablespoonslight soy sauce
2bunchesbaby bok choy - quartered
1 ½cupscilantro (coriander) - roughly chopped
1largepuff pastry
¼cupmilk - to brush
Instructions
Heat your oil in a frypan over high heat, then add the mince, ginger, chilli and garlic. Using a wooden ladle, break up the lumps of mince for 5 minutes until brown.
Add the mushrooms, stock, star anise, oyster and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Cover and simmer for 20minutes.
While this is simmering, get your greens ready. Roughly chop 1-1/2 cups of coriander and quarter a bunch of baby bok choy. I would use 2 bunches next time as I didn’t think there was enough in the pie. It also wilts down.
Stir the greens through, season with pepper, take off the heat and let cool for 5 minutes or so.
Spoon the filling into a pie dish. Brush edges of the dish with milk. Use puff pastry to top the pie, crimping the edges around the dish and cutting off any excess. Brush the pastry with milk to give it an excellent gloss. Bake in a preheated 200-degree Celsius oven for 2 to 30 minutes. Put a couple of holes in the pastry to let the steam out.
