Chinese BBQ Pork

To continue the Chinese BBQ hit, I’ve decided to make some BBQ pork (Char Siu)!!!! As I mentioned in the Roast Pork Belly post, I love my fatty char siu!!! hahaha... So when I went and bought the pork neck in preparation for this char siu night, I asked for a fatty piece!!! Hehehe...

Ingredients:

1kg pork neck

5 tbsp char siu sauce (you can get it from Chinese grocery shop, and it comes in a jar)

3 tsp soy sauce

1 tbsp Chinese wine

honey

1) Cut the pork neck into strips, and give it a good wash and pat dry with paper towel. Marinate it with the char siu sauce, soy sauce and chinese wine. Cover with glad wrap and leave it in the fridge overnight.

2) Preheat the oven to 200C, and roast the pork neck for 50 minutes with all the sauce in the pan and cover it with foil.

3) Remove the foil and turn the temperature down to 150C and brush it with the sauce in pan every 5-10 minutes for half an hour. In the last 15 minute coat the meat with honey to get that sweet sticky taste. Cool and rest the meat before cutting it into pieces.

You have to be careful after you coat the meat with honey, as it tends to burn easily!!! I usually dilute the honey with tiny little bit of water, so it can be brushed on more easily... Just a little hint and tip for you!

I reckon mine turned out not sweet enough, next time I might add a little bit more honey in. But hubby already had his thumb up, saying that it’s better than the store bought one! I reckon he’s just saying it just in case I don’t make it for him next time!!! hahahaha...

I served mine with some rice and vege, and drizzled the remaining sauce in the pan on top!!!! 1kg of pork neck does sound alot... don't worry, we didn't have it all in one go, we made 2 dinners and 2 lunches out of it! =P
