CHAR SIEW PUFFS (CHAR SIEW SOW) - DIM SUM
I have not tried this recipe yet, but hopefully will make this soon as I love Char Siew Sow! Recipe found on internet - Jo's Bakery. Prep time includes 30mins chilling time for the dough. NOTE - this recipe is not really authentic as the fat used in traditional Chinese pastry is usually lard instead of butter.

Steps:
- Prepare Filling: Combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar and water and stir until sugar is dissolved; stir in cornstarch.
- Heat oil in a pan, once hot, fry shallot till fragrant.
- Slowly pour in the sauce mixture and cook until sauce thickens.
- Add diced char siew to the sauce, stir to coat well.
- Prepare dough: Sift all-purpose flour, baking powder, custard powder and icing sugar into a mixing bowl.
- Rub in the butter until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Stir egg into the flour mixture to make a pliable dough.
- Wrap dough in a large plastic bag (approx 20x30cm or 8x12inch) and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove dough from fridge and roll it out (in the bag) to obtain a 8 x 12" rectangle.
- Cut the edges of the plastic bag and take the dough out; divide it equally into 12 portions (use a pizza roller/dough scraper for easier cutting).
- Put some filling on each dough portion, fold it so that filling is enclosed; seal edges by crimping with a fork.
- Brush the pastries with egg wash (lightly beat egg, water and salt together).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180-190°C or 350-375°F for 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve while they are still hot or warm.
