How to make Chinese Samosas

Chinese samosas are one of the most popular snacks in Asia. They’re also incredibly easy to make, and they’re great as an appetizer or snack, or served as part of an Asian-themed meal with fried rice and soy sauce. Best of all, you can customize them to whatever tastes you and your guests prefer, making it easy to prepare for whatever type of get-together you have planned.

Step 1: Ingredients

Chinese samosa sheets, ground beef, eggs, garlic paste, onions, ginger paste. You can add vegetables of your choice into it too such as corn and carrots or whatever else you like.

Step 2: The Filling

Using a fork, blend cottage cheese with onion, ginger root, chilli powder and salt. Stir in coriander leaves and spring onions before mixing it in with mashed potatoes. Stir everything together until you get a batter-like consistency. Transfer it into a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours. The batter will thicken as it cools down, making it easier to handle when you roll out your samosas. You can also opt to deep fry your Chinese samosa instead of baking them if you’re short on time or prefer something crunchier and crispier on the outside rather than chewy and soft on inside!

Step 3: Preparing the Pastry

The first step in making Chinese samosas is preparing your pastry. Take a look at these tips on working with filo dough. Filo dough is delicate, so be sure not to tear it when you’re handling it. It’s best not to layer more than 8-10 sheets of dough at a time, otherwise they become too heavy and brittle.

Step 4: Deep Frying

To ensure that they stay crispy, freeze your samosas for 1-2 hours before deep frying. To do so, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place your frozen samosas on top. The more room you leave in between each samosa, they crispier they'll be. When you're ready to deep fry, fill a large pot with vegetable oil and heat over medium high heat until it reaches 325 degrees F. Fry each side of your samosa for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool on paper towels for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with plum sauce or sweet chili sauce.

Step 5: Serving

Place some of your green wrapper at the bottom of your dish. Add some meat and a dollop of sweet & sour sauce in center. Bring up both sides, push them together. Now start folding over folds like you would an envelope or a pocket square. You can also turn it around as shown above (2nd photo) and fold again but only once as it might tear when you try to do more than that. Finally, push in two small points at two corners and ta-da! You have done it! Enjoy with a cup of spicy chai latte :)

Quick and Easy Chinese Samosa Recipe

Chinese samosas are very popular in India, Pakistan, and other Asian countries. They’re made with an exterior of crispy wonton wrappers filled with seasoned ground meat, peas, carrots, and other vegetables. Here’s how to make these tasty treats at home using a few simple ingredients—and no frying required! All you need is 15 minutes and the following recipe to make enough Chinese samosas for 4 people.

What are chinese samosas?

Chinese samosas are tasty little morsels that make a great appetizer or a meal. In fact, they make such an excellent snack or meal that they’re often called cryspy samosas because anyone who eats them is compelled to shed tears of joy. Chinese samosas have a few ingredients in common with their Indian counterparts: potatoes, peas, onions, and some kind of meat—but don’t be fooled by those similarities; these snacks are distinctly different from their eastern cousins. Chinese samosas are filled with pork (or more rarely chicken) instead of beef or lamb.

What ingredients do I need?

Firstly, you will need a pack of pastry sheets. Secondly, you’ll need some spring onions. Lastly, you’ll need rice flour. Yes, Chinese samosas don’t call for any Chinese ingredients at all! Therefore, they are really easy to make—the only thing you have to remember is to follow your instructions carefully!

How do I make them?

Preparing samosas involves more than wrapping a flatbread around your favourite filling. Traditionally, samosas are fried in oil before serving, but there’s also a baked option. The dough itself is layered with spices like cumin seeds, cardamom pods and black pepper to give it that cryspy flavour you love so much. To get started on your own recipe, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup water in a large bowl. If you’re looking for gluten-free samosas, replace flour with rice flour instead; alternatively, quinoa or chickpea flour would work as well. Stir until a dough forms—be careful not to over-mix!

How long do they take to cook?

Typically, samosas take 20 minutes or so to bake (at least in my experience). They’re also relatively easy to make—all you need is a bowl, measuring cups, and a rolling pin. But if you plan on making several batches of samosas at once for any reason, it’s best to think about how long it will take for them all to cook before you begin your prep work. If you can cook 10 samosas per batch with 1/2 hour breaks in between each batch, that means a total of 5 hours spent cooking these little Indian snacks. If you start at 9 AM one morning, that means they’ll be ready by 2 PM that day—right in time for dinner!

How can I eat them?

It’s so easy! Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Then, add 1 package of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (8 crescent rolls) to a baking sheet; be sure to spray it with some nonstick cooking spray first. Once you’ve done that, take out an egg roll wrapper, unfold it and put about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese inside. Roll it up nice and tight before using a pizza cutter or knife to cut off any excess dough so you can seal it shut; make sure there are no air bubbles in there! Spray that baby down again with some nonstick cooking spray before putting it in your mouth — careful not to burn yourself!
