Answers:
Ingredients
500 gram of long strips pork shoulder cut (or belly, if desired)
1 small cucumber, sliced (as side dish)
Seasoning:
1 teaspoon of ground white pepper
1 teaspoon of light soy sauce
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce (thick soy sauce)
1 tablespoon of honey
5 tablespoon of sugar (add more, if desired)
1 teaspoon of Hua Diao Rice Wine
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
? teaspoon of Zedoary, ground, or in 3 - 4 small pieces (Chinese translation: 沙姜)
(Or, replace with 1 teaspoon of ginger juice!.)
Method:
Use stove-cooking:
1) Cut pork into 2 long strips, if not yet!. Place them in a large bowl!.
2) Combine well with all seasoning ingredients!. Dredge pork strips with the seasoning mixture, and marinate for 1 - 2 hours!.
3) Preheat a wok/ saucepan over medium fire, place strips into the hot wok!. Keep remaining marinate sauce in the bowl for later!.
4) Roast pork strips for 10 min each side, or until both side are caramelized (glazed) and well roasted!. Remove from wok!.
5) Put remaining sauce into the wok, and bring to a boil!. Reserve it as Char Siew sauce for later!.
6) Thinly slice pork strips when they are cooled, and serve with Char Siew sauce, and sliced cucumbers!.
Use oven-baking:
1) Preheat oven to 250oC!.
2) Line baking dish with aluminum foil, and place pork strips on it!.
3) Place baking dish in the center of preheated oven!.
4) Bake one side for 10 minutes!. Turn pork strips over and bake for another 10 min, or until caramelized!.
5) Remove from oven!. Thinly slice when strips are cooled!. Serve with Char Siew sauce, and cucumbers!.
This dish takes about 20 min (exclude marinating time) to complete and serve!. If you are preparing it for next day dinner, marinate pork the night before!. Store it in the refrigerator!. A delicious dinner of homemade Char Siew awaiting you and your family!
I never forget to remind you on the calorie-count!. It yields 250 kcal for a decent portion of Char Siew meat!. Shoulder cut pork meat loads you with lesser calorie as compared to belly pork!. I like to use shoulder part for its tenderness, too!. Of couse, some like the fatty part most!. The choice is yours!.
Tips: Do not heat wok with oil!. Place pork strips directly on the dry hot wok, for better caramelizing effect!.
*Do not over-roast or bake the pork in order to retain maximum tenderness and juiciness of the meat!.
*Dredge pork strips with the seasoning mixes during marination to intermingle meat and the sauce further!.
Voila!!!
