How to make 4 Irresistible leftover Roast Chicken & Chinese Curry Pasties at home, full step by step instructions, from start to finish.
Ingredients
Method
- 500g / 18oz Puff Pastry
- 400g / 14oz of leftover Roast Chicken meat
- 70g / 2½oz Chinese curry block paste (see video)
- 130mls Boiling water
- 1 Egg (beaten for egg wash)
- Making the Pasty Filling:
- Make up 200g / 7oz of Chinese style curry sauce, see the video for examples.
- Using approximately 500g / 18oz of leftover chicken leg and breast meat from a roast chicken.
- Mix the meat and curry sauce together in a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, this may be done well in advance.
- Preparing the pastry:
- Roll out your pastry into a rectangle, that is 30 x 36cm / 12 x 14in, 3mm thick.
- Divide it into 4 pieces, 15x18cm / 6x7in.
- Place each pastry sheet on a slightly larger piece of parchment paper, stack them and refrigerate.
- Assembling the pasties:
- At this point, preheat your oven to, 170°C / 340°F / Gas mark 3.
- Take one sheet of pastry at a time from the fridge, keeping it on the parchment paper, if it has shrunk a little, gently roll it back to its normal length.
- Turn the pastry perpendicular to the paper (see the video).
- Add one quarter of the curry sauce & chicken mixture to one side of the pastry, leaving a gap around the edge.
- Brush the egg wash all around all of the exposed pastry, fold the pastry over the filling, expelling any trapped air as you go.
- Brush the whole pasty with the egg wash then seal around the edges using a fork.
- Using the paper, lift the pasty onto a non-greased large baking tray, repeat for the other 3 pasties.
- Using a sharp knife, cut 3 small vents in each one.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool, or serve straight away piping hot.
- Enjoy.
