Sauté the Filling: Heat a splash of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the canned tuna and cook until it’s halfway done. Stir in the shredded corn, grated carrot, sliced red chili, salt, black pepper, and oyster sauce. Cook the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the instant pastry on a clean surface and cut it into squares or triangles, depending on your preferred shape. Place a spoonful of the tuna filling in the center of each piece. Add a few pieces of the chopped hard-boiled egg on top of the filling.
-
Shape the Pastry: Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling and pinch the edges together to seal. If desired, you can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
-
Add the Toppings: Brush the tops of the filled pastries with beaten egg yolk. Using a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped off, drizzle the mayonnaise and chili sauce over the pastries. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 180-200°C (350-400°F). Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the baking time as needed based on your oven’s performance; for extra crispiness, you can extend the baking time slightly.
