I guess I have to at least do it myself. Now, let me introduce to you the method of making the Old Beijing Mending Meat Pie.

1. Cut the beef into small pieces, then put it into a blender and beat it into minced meat. Put it into a bowl and stir it clockwise until it is firm. Chop the ginger and green onion, add salt, yellow bean paste, sesame oil, chicken essence and minced ginger to the minced meat at the same time, stir again. Finally, add green onion before wrapping and stir (remember! Add green onion before wrapping~) 40g each, roll into small meatballs

2. Sift the high flour, add salt and water, knead the dough until it is moist, then let it stand for 30 minutes to let the dough relax completely. Divide it into 30g dough, do not knead it, cut it into the shape you want. Roll the dough into a thick skin in the middle and thin skin on the four sides, wrap the meatballs. Heat the pan over low heat, add the meat patties, bake for 6 minutes on the front side and 5-6 minutes on the back side, turn it over, add oil and bake until the skin changes color, then turn it back and forth 3-4 times to allow the meat patties to be heated more evenly. Be careful not to break them when turning them over.

The steps of making Old Beijing Mending Meat Pie are simple, but to make it well, you still need to try and practice seriously. Although the method is important, understanding is more important. Only by truly understanding can you make delicious food.
