Chicken Curry Jiao

Have you ever tried Chicken Curry Jiao (鸡肉咖喱角,"角" means "corner") in any Chinese bakery? If not, you should try. It's one of my favorite treats,especially with breakfast or afternoon tea.It looks like a triangle shape (or other shapes) with many buff layers, filled with chopped onion, ground chicken breast. It's crisp when you bite the outside layers, then you can eat inside the delicious filling. Because I love it so much that I really want to make it at home. And I did it!

Ingredients:
1 tbs oil
1/3 pound ground chicken breast
1/2 onion,chopped
1 tbs curry powder
one egg, blend well  
one box of buff pastry, about to make 18. (you can find at supermarket)
Direction:
Prepare the filling:
Heat a wok over high heat,add the oil and heat until very hot
Stir-fry the onion, chicken breast for 5 minutes
Turn a medium heat
Add curry powder, blend well until onions become soft
Remove the wok, wait the filling compete cool
 
Prepare the buff sheets
Take the buff sheets out of the box,cut the sheet into squares, totally about 18 squares
Place a small amount of the filling into the middle of each square sheet
Fold  one corner to the top corner 
Stick the two sides of the sheet
Brush the triangle surface with egg wash
Place the pastries on the prepared  sheet pan
Preheat the oven with 400 F,place the pan into the up layer of the oven, about 15 minutes
Ready to serve
