Ingredients
- 1 lb Skinless pork belly
- 2 tbsp Chopped garlic
Char Siu Sauce
- 2 pieces Chinese fermented red bean curd
- 1 tbsp Maltose or honey
- 1 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp Dark and thick soy sauce
- 1 tsp Five-spice powder
- 1/4 tsp White pepper powder
- 3 ½ Oz sugar
Instructions
- Blend all the Char Siu Sauce ingredients in a large-sized bowl. Add pork belly and garlic into it. Keep it to marinate overnight.
- Get the oven ready by preheating to 400°F just the next day.
- Get a wire rack or line up a pan with aluminum foil, and keep the pork belly in it. Keep roasting it for 15 minutes.
- Take out from the oven and flip the pork belly, get the leftover Char Siu Sauce and season the pork with it. Keep roasting the pork for 15 minutes.
- Keep the oven to Broil. For 1 minute, simply broil every side of pork belly to the point every side is fully charred. Your char should look somewhat dark in color and intense.
- Heat the leftover Char Siu Sauce and allow it to simmer a bit. Keep it aside.
- Slice the thin, skinny pieces of Char Siu. Serve the pork quickly, along with some steamed white rice and leftover Char Siu sauce dipping.
