Using onion salt instead of onion in the sausage meat stops the pastry going soggy. The expert who taught me the recipe for these sausage rolls (my very talented mother) showed me that adding a little water to the tray makes the puff pastry a little bit puffier. I find the supermarkets often sell low quality sausagemeat so I tend to buy their finest sausages, which have a higher meat content.

We found this place whilst heading out to a chinese restaurant we had planned to go to but decided to give this place a try. I love Japanese food as I went there last year and loved everything I tried there, even cow’s stomach at a Japanese indoor BBQ!
