Steps

1h30 mins

1

In a wok on low heat add grated onion, mince and a bit of water. Add bay leaf and sprig of thyme. Salt and pepper. Cover until the water evaporates.
2

Add a bit of oil then add an egg. Incorporate it until you see white bits.
3

Allow the mince to cool on a plate.
4

If your feuilles de brick or spring roll pastry sheets are fresh go to step 6.
5

If your sheets are frozen: remove from packaging, wrap it in a damp cloth and let it thaw for 30mins or an hour. Once done you can put in microwave on low for 30 seconds.
6

If the sheets are round cut them in half.
Add one tbsp of mince on the corner and fold it like a triangle then fold again like a triangle. Then close it. There are some videos on YouTube if you need a better explanation.
7

Put oil to cover the bottom of your wok or pan. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Place them on a plate with kitchen roll to drain the excess of oil.
8

Serve. With a fork pierce a few holes and drizzle lemon juice. The most important step eat it with your hands ! Enjoy.
