How to Make Char Siu Sou | Classic Dim Sum BBQ Pork Puff
With some Chinese puff pastry I still had in the freezer, I decided to make a small batch of Char Siu Sou today. 🥟✨ Since I’ve made Char Siu Bao before, I’m pretty confident that the filling tastes almost identical, even when starting with stir-fried meat instead of BBQ pork. Honestly, the difference is barely noticeable!
I love making these whenever I have some free time. I can play around with the flavor and texture, share them with friends and family, and get their thumbs-up. ❤️
If you’ve never tried making Char Siu Sou at home, I really encourage you to give it a shot. Make a bigger batch of the pastry too, as it freezes well and you can use it for all kinds of pastries later on.
