Instructions

    1 onion, 1 tsp mild chilli powder, fresh thyme, 2 tsp ginger, 60 ml white wine vinegar, 60 ml light soy sauce
  • Place the chicken in the slow cooker, pour over the sauce, add the frozen peas and cook on high for 3-4 hours.
    2 chicken breasts, frozen peas
  • Break up the chicken with two forks and stir back into the sauce.
  • Leave the chicken mixture to cool until you are ready for it.
  • Make the pastry by mixing together the flour, salt and turmeric.
    225 g plain flour (all-purpose flour), Pinch of salt, 1.5 tsp turmeric
  • Cut the butter into small cubes and rub it into the flour until you have the texture of breadcrumbs.
    115 g butter
  • Add the water little by little, stirring it in with a spoon, until it comes together as dough. You might not need to use all the water.
    4-5 tbsp of cold water
  • Form the pastry into a ball, wrap it in foil or cling film, and chill in the fridge for at least half an hour.
  • Roll the pastry out to about 0.5 cm thick, and cut out 8-10 circles using the top of a mug or small pot.
  • Place a small amount of the chicken filling, with the frozen peas added, onto each circle.
  • Note: You will have leftover filling, which can be served separately, or you could double the pastry for a larger batch.
  • Brush the edges of the pastry circle with the beaten egg.

  • Fold the pastry over and seal the edges together and use a fork to crimp the edges.
  • Place the patties on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
