Filling for Char Siu Pau ~ Pork Bun Filling

This is my favourite filling for steamed or baked savoury siew pau (buns). I always have a ready stock of barbecue pork in my freezer and can whip a small batch of this in a jiffy whenever I feel the urge to make some seremban siu pau or char siu pau .

Help Sinner ! I'm preparing the dish now but I'm not sure what kind of chinese wine are you referring to ? Is it rice wine?

Can be rice wine or any chinese cooking wine.

Hi Elaine,
Yes you can omit. The peanut butter however does make it extra nice.
