Oil or butter. The best way to add the ingredient to the filling is to heat the oil or butter well and then pour it over the onions.

Liquid. It can be broth, water, or squeezed vegetable juice. You can choose the liquid to your liking and gradually add it to the meat. It usually absorbs a lot of water. But it is important not to overdo it. The meat should end up sticky, soft, and without traces of liquid.
