Chinese Style BBQ Pork

On Christmas Eve, I tried making the Chinese style BBQ Pork - Char Siu. This was the first time me attempting this, and gladly, it turned out just the way I hoped! Highly recommend anyone to try this at home, I promise, they taste much better when freshly made at home than those you buy in markets in Hong Kong!




























You will need:
(4 servings)

3 pieces of pork shoulder steak
4 big spoons Lee Kum Kee Char Siu Sauce
1.5 tsp of soya sauce
3 spoons of honey

Steps:
1. Prepare a baking container, line it with aluminium foil. Reserve extra aluminium foil as you will need extra length of aluminum foil to wrap around the pork steaks. Marinate the meat in there.
2. To marinate the pork, add some soya sauce, massage it and then add in the Char Siu sauce. Continue massaging it so the sauces spreads over the pork evenly. Then wrap the pork steaks with the excess foil.
















3. Store in the fridge for at least 4 hours, I left it for one day.
4. Preheat the oven to 200-230C for 10-15 mins.
5. Take out the marinated pork steaks from the fridge and place it in the oven for 50mins. Every 15-20 mins, turn the whole "wrap" over. This is to ensure the sauce inside does not just sit at the bottom, but is spread evenly on the top and bottom.
6. After 50mins, open up your "wrap" and apply a layer of honey the pork steaks. Place the steak back into the oven for 10 mins. You do not need to wrap it up again. At 5 mins, turn the pork steak over and apply honey to the other side.
7. Now that it is ready to serve, slice the char siu into thin slices.





It's great when having cha siu with rice.
