So, what about The Curators Pork Puffs? While they're also a good source of protein, with 71.1g per 100g, they only contain 15.6g of protein per 22g serving. That works out to around 71% protein, which is still pretty good, but not quite as impressive as Snaffling Pig Popped Pork. You can buy this from your Chinese grocery store’s hot bar, or make your own with our Chinese roast pork cha siu recipe here. At the very least, employing a box of store-bought pastry makes the whole assembly process a lot easier. Even better, try making your own homemade rough puff pastry with our easy rough puff pastry recipe and you will never buy the store-bought stuff again! This one has been on our hit list for a while now. A dim sum classic, the restaurant version of which probably contains copious amounts of lard, these Chinese Roast Pork Puffs are definitely an I-don’t-really-want-to-think-about-what-I’m-eating-right-now-because-it-tastes-so-awesome-but-I’ll-probably-have-to-spend-three-hours-on-a-stairmaster kind of food. Somehow, the fact that we use puff pastry for these roast pork puffs instead of lard-based dough kind of makes it all okay. (Uh…doesn’t it?)

Be careful about using too much filling. Since the dough is quite delicate, you could end up with a big leaking, soggy mess once they get baked up in the oven. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat and stir-fry the onion or shallots until translucent. Add the sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and dark soy sauce and cook until it starts to bubble up. Okay so The Curations Pork Puffs Original Salted may not sound very interesting, but I enjoyed their Sweet Chilli flavour that I wrote about last week, so I decided to write about their original flavour this week. Besides, it's starting to get tougher finding new things to write about again, and I need the extra protein in my diet to fix my muscles after my workout today. To save you the bother, here is a handy comparison of Snaffling Pig Popped Pork and The Curators' Pork Puffs: NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

The Curators - Original Salted Pork Puffs 25g

Cut into equal squares (whatever size you prefer). Ours were about the size of a large ravioli. Put about 1 1/2 teaspoons of filling onto a pastry square… When I was a young boy we holidayed in Devon in a seaside town called Combe Martin. It was a very nice place indeed from what I can remember. What I do mainly remember was the hotel food… well okay, just the chocolate fudge cake that an old lady made for the hotel every day. It was by and far the best chocolate fudge cake I've ever had, none have matched it or come close to doing so since. The same can be said about Pizza Hut's Carne Amanti thin crust pizza before they stopped making it. No pizza I've had since has matched it. This process may be a little complicated. Suggest to view the video for a clearer understanding of the process. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to smooth out the seams. Once rolled, the puff pastry square should be 30% larger than where you started. BBQ pork puff aka char siew sou is one of my favourite dim sum dishes. The pastry is very flaky and the char siew filling super delicious. The process for making the flaky pastry may be a little challenging but so rewarding when you get it right.

Last but not least, our Popped Pork boasts an impressive 79.8g protein content. That means that almost three-quarters of each serving is pure protein.

Store in a cool dry place. Once opened consume within 24 hours for maximum freshness. TYPICAL VALUEScup of char siew sauce (ask for char siew sauce when buying char siew from the vendor). Or make your own sauce: Place a piece of oil dough into the centre of the water dough. Wrap the oil dough with the water dough. Roll into a ball.
