Put 1/2 cup of water in a mug.

Add 1 tablespoon of corn flour to the water and mix with a fork.

Squeeze juice from 2 medium-sized lemons to get 1/2 cup of lemon juice and put it in a small saucepan.

Add 1/4 cup of caster sugar to the saucepan with the lemon juice.

Pour in 2 teaspoons of dry sherry into the saucepan.

Add 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce to the mixture in the saucepan.

Put the saucepan on medium heat and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, let it thicken for about half a minute, then remove from heat and stir.

Set the sauce aside to cool completely.

Slice spring onions thinly and reserve some for garnish.

In a bowl, combine 250 grams of chicken mince, sliced spring onions, 1 clove of crushed garlic (or 1 teaspoon jar garlic), 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon jar ginger), 1 teaspoon light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon dry sherry, and 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil.

Mix the filling well and cover it, placing it in the fridge for a minute.

Thaw 3 sheets of puff pastry.

Prepare the deep fryer with canola oil.

Whisk 1 egg in a bowl for egg wash.

Use an 8 cm round cutter to cut circles from the puff pastry.

Place 1.5 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each pastry circle.

Lightly brush egg wash around the edges of the pastry circle.

Fold the pastry in half over the filling and press the edges to seal.

Pinch the edges together to ensure they are sealed well.

Place the filled pastries on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

If freezing, wrap each pastry in glad wrap before stacking them in the freezer.

Heat the deep fryer to high heat.

Once hot, carefully place the pastries in the fryer, avoiding overcrowding.

Fry until they are light and golden, about 5 minutes, then remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
