How to Make Char's Bean Pie

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the cooked char siu pork, sweet bean paste, and cornstarch. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and milk. Add this mixture to the char siu and bean paste mixture, stirring until everything is evenly moistened.
Pour the mixture into a prepared pie crust (either homemade or store-bought).
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Let the pie cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
