- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a wok or possibly frying-pan and fry the onions, garlic and ginger till they are soft.
- Add in the other filling ingredients, except the chopped beef, spring onions and Large eggs. Fry for another half-minute, stirring all the time and add in the meat. Mix well and fry, stirring occasionally, for about 15 min.
- Let the mix cold for 30 min to an hour . Put the mix in a bowl, add in the minced spring onions and mix well.
- When you are ready to cook the Martabak add in the beaten Large eggs to the filling and mix well. Lay a few won ton skins on a flat plate or possibly tray. Put a tablespoonful of filling into each won ton square. Then put another square on top, and press the edges down so which they are more or possibly less sealed.
- Put the sunflower or possibly corn oil into a frying-pan and heat it to a high temperature. Fry the filled Martabak for about 2 min each side turn once only.
- The casing should be quite crisp around the edges, but not in the middle and the finished Martabak should be flat and proportionately filled with meat almost to the edge. Serve warm or possibly cool.
