Chinese BBQ Char Siu
A rich and tender Char Siu recipe using Hannay's Chinese BBQ 300ml, perfect for slow-roasting or pan-searing to a sticky, toffee-like finish.
Ingredients
- 1 kg pork shoulder or belly cut into 4 to 5 cm cubes
- 1 bottle of cider (Hunters or Savannah)
- 1 teaspoon of garlic
- 300ml Hannay’s Sauces Chinese BBQ
Method 1: Oven Roast
- Mix all the ingredients in a deep heat-resistant tray and cover with aluminium (tin) foil.
- Let it marinate for a couple of hours in the fridge.
- Roast in a pre-heated oven between 120°C to 140°C for 2-3 hours, whilst constantly checking, tossing and turning to caramelise on all sides. Keep the tin foil on to keep in the moisture till the meat is super tender.
- After several hours, remove the tin foil and crank up the heat to about 170°C to get some charred and crispiness. This will also reduce the sauce to a toffee-like state. You can add water or more cider should you prefer more sauce instead.
Method 2: Pan Seared
- Grill or pan sear the pork until you achieve crispy rendered pork fat and rind.
- Rest for 10 minutes and cut into equal size cubes.
- Cover with the remaining ingredients (cider, garlic, Chinese BBQ sauce) and slow simmer for 20 to 30 minutes on medium heat.
