Char Siu - Chinese Glazed Roast Pork

Step 1

Marinate the pork: Mix all char siu marinade, and transfer to a mixing bowl/large zip lock bag. Add pork pieces to the sauce, and marinade for 24-48 hours, at least 8 hours.

Step 2

Roast the pork: Preheat oven to 160 Celsius (320 Fahrenheit). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place a wire rack on top. Arrange pork over a wire rack and roast (bake) for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Prepare basting sauce: Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepot along with the two tablespoons of honey. Cook over medium heat until boiling, then cook further until syrup consistency, about 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Baste the pork: Remove the pork from the oven, baste with basting sauce, flip to the other side, and baste again. Roast again for another 30 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the pork from the oven for the second time, baste with sauce, flip, and baste. This time roast for 20 minutes, and you may want to tent with a foil if it starts to char too quickly.

Step 6

Finally, remove the pork from the oven, baste the surface, and return it to the oven for a final 10 minutes roast. It should be caramelized nicely and glazed with sticky sauce.

Step 7

Serve: Take the pork out from the oven, let it rest for 15 minutes, then slice into bite-size pieces.
