Method
- Step 1
Mix the dry ingredients

- Sift together to combine well, then set aside.
- Step 2
Cut in the cold fats
- Cut the very cold butter and shortening into small pieces.
- Work the butter and shortening into the flour with clean hands until crumbly.
- Step 3
Make the dough
- Beat the egg, reserve most of it for the egg wash and pour the rest into the ice water.
- Add the ice water a little at a time until the dough comes together.
- Wrap the dough and chill it.
- Step 4
Cook the beef filling
- Add the ground beef to a skillet and cook through, then remove it.
- Saute the finely diced seasonings and aromatics in the skillet.
- Return the beef and season with salt, pepper, ginger, ketchup, soy sauce and browning.
- Mix the breadcrumbs with water, add to the skillet and simmer, then let cool.
- Step 5
Laminate the dough
- Roll out the chilled dough and fold in more cold butter and shortening to create layers.
- Chill the dough again, then roll it out one final time and cut circles for the patties.
- Step 6
Fill and seal the patties
- Fill each circle with the beef filling and seal.
- Crimp the edges with a fork.
- Step 7
