Making the Meat Filling: - Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. - Saute the clove and onions for a few minutes. - Next, add carrots and mushrooms. - Saute till the carrots are soft. - Add the ground beef. - Stir fry till beef turns light brown. - Add the dark soy sauce for color. - Add the green peas and corn. - Add salt, pepper and seasoning to taste. - Add water and allow to simmer for about 10 mins. - Add more water if needed so that there is some gravy and the beef does not dry out.
