Barbecue Pork or Char Siew

Barbecue pork, goes well with noodles or rice. I have been away for a while, can't wait to get into my kitchen to cook! 



An easy recipe with simple ingredients. 

Adapted from the following recipe:

Pan fried in a wok, until oil separated from marinade. 

Served with steamed cooked rice.

Barbecue pork recipe 
500g lean pork. 
2 tbsp oyster sauce 
3 tbsp shaoxing cooking wine 
3 tbsp sesame oil 
3 tbsp sugar 
1/2 tsp 5 spice power 
1 tsp white pepper 
1 tbsp oil 
2 clove of garlic crushed with skin on. 

Preparation method :
1. In a bowl, add in all the marinade & marinate the meat overnight. 
2. Heat up the wok with oil, add in the garlic, fry until fragrant.  Add in the meat & marinade.
3. Using medium-low heat , slowly cook the meat. Cover with a lid & flipped occationally to avoid over burning. But I like it with some burnts sections. 
4. After 20 - 25 minutes turned up the heat, to thicken the sauce. You'll noticed the oil & the marinade separated. Refer to picture. 
5. Turned off the heat, when meat is fully cooked. Dish out the BBQ pork & leave it to cool slightly. Slice the BBQ pork before serving. 

Voilà & bon appétit !! 

Chin's notes:
1. No added salt / light soya sauce  is added because I find that the oyster sauce is quite salty. 
2. Normally food colouring is added to give the meat the reddish touch. You can add some red colouring if you wish. :)
