What's up, guys? I am Maggie and welcome back  to my channel, Rack of Lam. I am super excited   to share today's video with you! If you're  like me and don't think 24 hours in a day is   enough to get everything done AND get enough  sleep, then you would appreciate this product   that I swear by to make homemade Chinese roast  pork. It is this char siu sauce by Lee Kum Kee   or 李錦記. If you're Chinese, you're probably  very familiar with this brand. Remember the   commercials before our TVB episodes? Translation:  "Lee Kum Kee, accompanying you in every meal."  Translation: "Every time I make char  siu, Lee Kum Kee keeps me company!" I'm sure you've come across many recipes for  homemade char siu sauce that work just as well,   but when you are a working mom like I am  and need to take shortcuts on a busy day,   this is the go-to sauce for some good char siu.  You can certainly follow the recipe that is   behind this jar if you want to roast it in your  oven or continue watching to find out how I make   it in my air fryer. Make sure you watch till  the end if you want to find out why somebody   would say "Translation: "It is better to give  birth to a char siu than you!" If you enjoyed   my video make sure you give me that thumbs up and  hit that button below to subscribe to my channel. I typically use pork butt or pork shoulder from  my local Asian supermarket to make my char siu.   The one shown here is 3.6 pounds,  likely about 3 pounds after the   fat on the surface has been trimmed. You  can certainly leave them on if you wish,   but given how much fat is attached to  this piece, I wouldn't recommend it. The three most common requests that I have heard  at a Chinese restaurant that sells roast pork are:   "Speaking Cantonese" ... which is requesting the  butcher to cut you a fatter chunk of roast pork. "Speaking Cantonese" ... a request for just lean meat. "Speaking Cantonese" a request for half fat, half lean, which  is the most popular request of all.   After trimming the fat, I cut the pork shoulder  into four pieces. Look at the beautiful marbling.   As you can see, there is still sufficient fat  within this cut to make some delicious roast pork. As I mentioned before, most Chinese people would   probably think good char siu  has to be "Speaking Cantonese" or  half fat half lean and I think this  cut of pork does the job just fine. After cutting the meat I place five to six  tablespoons of Lee Kum Kee char siu sauce   into a gallon size Ziploc bag. Feel free to  separate them into two bags if they don't fit   or add more sauce if you're  using a larger piece of meat. Place the four pieces of pork  shoulder into the Ziploc bag   and give them a good char siu sauce massage.  Man, massage sounds really good just about now After the meat is thoroughly coated with the  sauce, let them marinate in the fridge overnight.   Try to remove all the air out of the Ziploc  bag and make sure the bag is sealed tightly When you're ready to make char siu, place  two pieces of your marinated pork shoulder   into your air fryer basket. Make  sure you do not overcrowd them. I like to baste the meat with additional  sauce to make them extra flavorful,   using I'd say about 2 teaspoons  per piece, 1 teaspoon per side.   Next, spray cooking oil on  the pork, avoiding the basket,   and air fry for 10 minutes  at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. After 10 minutes, flip the pork over and baste  each side with another teaspoon of char siu sauce.   Spray some more cooking oil,  again avoiding the basket,   then air fry for another  10 minutes at 400 degrees. Now brush one to two teaspoons of honey on top  of each side, then air fry at 400 degrees for   two minutes. I have cooked the pork without  honey and think they taste just as good,   but the additional honey gives it a sweet  touch and also results in a better char. Likewise, after two minutes, flip the pork over,  apply another one to two teaspoons of honey on   each piece, then air fry for another two minutes at 400 degrees. After the last two minutes is up,   remove your air fryer basket and check out  these juicy and tender looking pieces of meat.   Let your char siu rest for a few  minutes, then cut these beauties up. Is it just me or is it very satisfying  watching a piece of char siu getting sliced?   Come on let's watch it again Something that I never quite understood and find  quite funny is a saying that some Chinese parents   use to scold their misbehaving children back in  the days. "Speaking Cantonese" literally translated   as "it is better to give birth to a char siu than  you." I mean, look at this piece of succulent,   glistening piece of roast pork. I guess  I understand why it would be better. Top your white rice with an ample amount of char  siu and balance the meat out with some greens.   If you enjoyed my video, make sure you check out  my blog linked below and subscribe to my channel.   Thank you for watching and why don't  we all say thank you Lee Kum Kee.
