Char Siew aka BBQ Pork



I love this Singapore Hawker Food recipebook that i'd brought over.

Thank goodness to this wonderful recipebook that have eased most of my cravings for local s'pore food.

Charsiew is one of them. aka BBQ pork.

Unfolding of recipe from this recipebook:

450g pork belly (cut into long strips) (for me i used porkloin, less fatty)
150 ml water (this step is optional, if you oven boiled e pork…just skip this)
1tbsp light soy sauce
½ tbsp sesame oil
red food colouring
3 cloves garlic (chopped)
4 tbsps sugar
1 tsp pepper
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp char siew sauce
½ tbsp shaoxing wine
1 tsp dark soy sauce
½ tbsp cooking oil

Recipebook method:

1. Marinate meat with all ingredients and leave it for 3 to 4 hrs (or overnight)

2. Put all e ingredients into pot. Cook over medium heat and bring to e boil. Turn to medium-low heat after boiling. Stew till e meat is slightly burnt.

My method
1. Follow as step 1
2. Now instead of using a pot, pop e marinated pork into e oven and broil it over high temperature. Check for burning. Cooking time approx. 40mins depending on e temperature of your broiler.
