Char Siu

Meaning “suspended over fire”, this barbeque pork has a really authentic flavour and will give you a real insight into the depth of Cantonese cuisine.

Preparation:

  1. Combine the marinade ingredients and marinade the meat in the fridge for at least 6 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 220’C/425’F/ Gas mark7. Place a baking dish with 625ml of water in the bottom of the over to create a steamy environment. Drain the pork from its marinade. Put an S-shaped meat hook through one end of each strip and hang from the top rack.
  3. Cook for 10-15 mins, then baste with the marinade. Reduce the heat to 180’C/350’F/Gas mark4 and cook for 8-10 mins. Cool for 2-3 minutes, then brush with the honeyed water and lightly brown under a grill for 4-5 minutes, turning to give a charred look around the edges.
  4. Slice the meat. Add 185ml of cooking liquid (from the tray at the oven bottom) to the marinade. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes. Strain and pour over the pork.

Useful tip:
