NOTES
1. Don’t overmix the meat: Mix until combined, then STOP. Overworking makes the filling firm.
2. Kecap Medja: If you can’t find that exact one, use a light soy sauce—same job: salt + savory depth.
3. Seal well: Press edges firmly and crimp with a fork so they don’t open while baking.
4. Puff pastry: Thaw fully before folding, or it can crack and leak.
5. Storage
- Let them cool, then store them airtight in the fridge.
- Reheat in the oven so the pastry turns crisp again (a microwave works, but it softens the pastry).
