Simply delicious little parcels of yummy flakey pastry with meaty char siu stuck together with sticky sweet goodness.

My brother’s and sister love eating these little snacks, and using premade puff pastry works pretty well with the recipe. When i use to make these i would make trays and trays of them, and you had to be quick too, they didn’t really last till the next day, they would be all gobbled up and only crumbs would be left.

Filling
250g char siu
1/2 brown onion (chopped finely)
1 tbsp sesame oil

Sauce
1 tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp ginger (grated)
1 tsp garlic (crushed)
1/4 cup water
Thickening
1 tbsp corn flour
3 tbsp water

Topping
1 egg (beaten)
2 tbsp sesame seeds

Pastry
2 sheets of ready made puff pastry

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Combine oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, hoi sin sauce, ginger, garlic and water in a small bowl. In separate bowl combine corn flour with water and set aside.

Using a medium non stick fry pan, add sesame oil then onions and cook till softened, then add in char siu, cook till warmed then add in sauce, simmer for 2 minutes then add thickener, stirring till combined. Everything will thicken up, pour into a bowl, cover and leave in fridge for 10 minutes to cool the mixture.

While waiting prepare pastry, cut one sheet vertically into 3 even columns then 3 even horizontal rows to form little squares.

Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot!

Simply Yummy!!
