How To Make awesome sesame pork roll appetizers

• 
  1

  Gather your ingredients.
• 
  2

  In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground pork, plus the minced garlic, ginger, and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
• 
  3

  Cook until the pork is browned, and thoroughly cooked through.
• 
  4

  Chef’s Note: Use a wooden spoon and mash and mix the ingredients until they are completely broken up.
• 
  5

  Chef’s Note: I usually put the cooked ingredients into a food processor, fitted with an S-blade, and give it a few pulses. This ensures that the mixture is finely and evenly ground.
• 
  6

  Thoroughly drain the pork, and return to the skillet.
• 
  7

  Chef’s Tip: You want as much of the grease out of the pork as possible. I drain mine on a couple of paper towels.
• 
  8

  Return the skillet to the stovetop and reduce the heat to medium low, and then add tamari and Sriracha sauce. Stir to combine.
• 
  9

  Add the water chestnuts, the scallions, and cilantro, and stir to combine.
• 
  10

  Continue to stir for 2 to 3 minutes, and then remove the pan from the heat.
• 
  11

  When the mixture has sufficiently cooled, add the beaten eggs, and stir to combine.
• 
  12

  Reserve the mixture.

  Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 425f (220c).

  Take a baking sheet and line with parchment paper.

  Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil with 2 tablespoons of water.

  Lightly flour a work surface and then cut the puff pastry into 4-inch squares.
• 
  18

  Chef’s Note: One of the standard sizes for store-bought puff pastries is 4x4 inches.
• 
  19

  Use a rolling pin to roll out to 5x5 inches.

  20

  Place 3 tablespoons of the pork mixture down the middle of the puff pastry.
•

  Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
