How to Make Dim sim sausage rolls – Recipe You Have to Try
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, cabbage, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, grated ginger, white pepper, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry into a 12x12 inch square. Cut the pastry into 12 even rectangles, about 4x3 inches each.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the dim sim filling onto one end of each rectangle. Roll the pastry over the filling and seal the edges by pressing them together firmly. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a nice finish.
- Place the sausage rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each roll with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the filling is cooked through. You’ll know they’re done when the aroma is irresistible and the top is beautifully crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. These dim sim sausage rolls are delicious warm or at room temperature.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling to avoid tearing.
- Don’t overfill the sausage rolls to prevent leakage during baking.
- Use fresh ginger for a bright, authentic flavor in the filling.
- Brush the rolls generously with egg wash for a shiny, golden crust.
- Serve with a side of sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
Storage and Reheating
You can store leftover dim sim sausage rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep them fresh longer, freeze the uncooked rolls on a tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
Reheat refrigerated rolls in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness. For frozen rolls, bake directly from frozen at 375°F for 25-30 minutes until golden and heated through.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground chicken or beef instead of pork?
Yes, you can substitute ground chicken or beef for pork if you prefer. Keep in mind that pork tends to be juicier and more flavorful, so you might want to add a bit more seasoning if using other meats.
Is it possible to make these sausage rolls gluten-free?
To make gluten-free dim sim sausage rolls, use a gluten-free puff pastry and ensure all sauces like soy and oyster sauce are gluten-free. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the filling a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. This can save time when assembling the sausage rolls later.
What’s the best dipping sauce for dim sim sausage rolls?
Sweet chili sauce and soy sauce are classic choices that complement the savory filling perfectly. You can also try hoisin sauce or a spicy mustard dip for variety.
