Stir the stock and flour together in a small bowl till smooth. Pour the flour mix into the wok, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring, till the flour is dissolved and the mix is thickened.
- Remove the wok from the heat and stir in the Char Siu. Scoop the filling out of the wok and chill till chilled.
