The Chinese meat pie is a classic northern Chinese savory pastry. It has a juicy beef filling with onion, carrot and aromatics in a crispy crust. It’s like a giant dumpling! It’s perfect for meal-prep to make ahead and serve later, so you can enjoy this dim sum delicacy at any time of day.

Traditional Chinese meat pie provides a crispy wrapper and savory filling. There are in fact many types of meat pie popular across the country. The fillings differ from one house to another. You can use pork, lamb, beef etc. This is a popular beef and onion version.

Imagine a cross between a giant dumpling and a flatbread, pan-fried to a golden shine. If you enjoyed my recipe for Crispy Stuffed Flatbread or Scallion Pancakes, you’ll find these meat pies to be an excellent alternative.

My version showcases how my parents make them, using a mixture of fatty ground meat and a generous amount of scallions. However, I’ve enhanced their dough recipe by adding extra water and a little oil, which results in a more tender mouthfeel.
