char siu sou – chinese bbq pork puff pastry

For some reason, I really was craving for char siu all weekend.
What’s a girl going to do when char siu craving strikes? Well, in my case, I make something with char siu of course!

So a while ago, I posted a recipe for char siu bread buns. I have to say, the char siu filling for the buns really was to die for. Since I really liked it, I thought I would use the same filling to make char siu sou, which really, is simply char siu puffs.
Once the char siu mixture had cooled (recipe and step-by-step instructions can be found here), I floured my clean work surface and used a circular cutter to cut rounds from ready-rolled puff pastry sheets. I like using these sheets because I have a really hot kitchen and if I were to roll out the pastry, I would usually end up with a half-melted mess.
And that’s not good.

I brushed away the excess flour on the pastry, and placed a tablespoon of char siu mixture in the middle of the pastry.

I brushed some egg wash on the pastry.

Then folded the pastry in half and pinched the edges gently to seal.

I placed the char siu puffs on a lined baking tray.

And brushed the pastries with egg wash. I didn’t sprinkle any sesame seeds because the LAM does not like them. But it is a nice topping if you don’t have an anti-sesame-seed-husband.

The char siu puffs were baked.

They were allowed to cool on the baking tray for about 5 minutes.
Well, that was as long as I was able to wait.
