Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the grated carrot and cook for another 2 minutes, then add the vegetarian chicken strips and cook until heated through.
Add in the green peas, soy sauce, ground black pepper, and salt, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to a thickness of about 5mm. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place a generous spoonful of the filling onto the center of each square. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle and press the edges with a fork to seal them.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash.
Place the prepared puffs on the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.
