Steps to Prepare
Step 1 of 4
- 1 onion
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 340 g char siu
- 200 ml chicken stock
To make the filling: In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil and cook onions until tender. Add roast pork and fry for 3 minutes. Add oyster sauce, sugar, sesame oil, dark soy sauce, cornstarch, and chicken stock. Simmer until the sauce is thickened. Cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Step 2 of 4
- 120 g plain flour
- 60 g unsalted butter
Prepare the inner dough (crumbly consistency): Mix together all of the ingredients for the inner dough. Wrap the dough with cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Divide evenly into 16 pieces, roll roughly into balls and return to fridge for 5 minutes.
Step 3 of 4
- 220 g plain flour
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 1⁄2 tsp salt
- 1⁄2 tsp sugar
- 1⁄2 tsp baking powder
- 90 ml water
- 1 ml egg white
Prepare the outer dough (wetter consistency): Mix together all of the ingredients for the outer dough. Wrap in cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Divide evenly into 16 pieces.
Step 4 of 4
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp water
- sesame seeds
Preheat the oven to 180 - 200 °C. Line a baking paper on a baking tray.
Wrap the outer dough around the inner dough. Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough. Roll it up, turn 90 degrees, and flatten it again with a rolling pin. Roll it up for the second time, turn 90 degrees, and flatten it with a rolling pin into a rectangular shape.
Roughly divide filling into 16 portions. Place a portion in the center of the pastry. Fold both sides toward the center. Flip it around so that the pastry seam side is on the bottom, seal the edges with a fork and place it on the baking sheet. Make some hole on the top with a toothpick.
Bake in oven for 8 minutes. Brush the top of the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for another 20 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
