Recipe: Tasty Chinese BBQ Pork Pastry

Chinese BBQ Pork Pastry. The mildly sweet and savory char siu (Chinese bbq pork) filling inside flaky pastry shell are just to die for. Add the diced BBQ pork and stir. The refrigeration will cause the mixture to harden and will make it easier to handle later.

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. A quirky variation on conventional pulled pork sees it prepared from braised pork shoulder chops before being incorporated in puff pastry pasties with Chinese BBQ sauce.
