Cover with cling film while you prepare the fillin . For the filling, mix the soy sauce, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, sherry, cornflour, pepper, water and 2 tablespoons oil into the minced beef, then set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. Add the minced water chestnuts and pickled mustard and mix well. Knead the dough into a long roll, then cut it into 24 equal portions. Roll a piece of dough into a round, place 2 teaspoons filling on top and fold over to seal in the filling in a crescent shape. Heat a little oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the crescents and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in a little water just less than l/4 pint and a pinch of salt, boil and reduce the heat. Cover, then simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover, add a little oil and cook for 3 minutes, until the liquid has dried up and the pan stickers are golden. Cook any remaining pan stickers and serve.
