For the filling, combine the shredded chicken, spices, coriander, spring onions, ginger and plum sauce in a bowl.

Place a heaped tablespoon mince mixture in the top left corner of one of the strips and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Continue folding over and over to form a triangle. On the last fold, brush with butter to seal to the end, then trim any excess pastry.
