Sou

Breads, Flatbreads and Savory Pastries

Sou is a dried, flaky Chinese pastry made with a layered Chinese flaky dough. In dim sum cooking the most common version is char siu sou, filled with barbecued pork, while versions with century egg or lotus seed paste are also made in Hong Kong and Singapore. Shanghai style dried versions are filled with nuts or legumes, such as peanut sou, green bean sou or walnut sou, and are often sold in boxes as souvenirs.
