How To Make Chinese ‘Char Siu’ BBQ Pork - Marion's Kitchen

sweet sticky Chinese barbecue pork and the homemade version are so much better first up will let's talk about the pork so I'm using pork neck basically a sort of pretty large chunk hefty chunk of pork and it's got quite a lot of fat running through it and we like that because that's gonna keep our chance your wok nice and juicy I find that the pork fill it or the Tenderloin which you can use that that one tends to dry out a little more in the oven now what I want to do is turn this big hunk into three smaller ones so I'm just gonna slice through so that I get three nice long strips and now for the all-important marinade soy sin first this really is the backbone flavor of this pork and then we've got some shouting Chinese wine if you can't find the Chinese wine you could use dry sherry as well or if you wanted to leave alcohol out just use a little bit of chicken stock and then we want some honey basically like the Chinese version of it barbecue marinade it's sweet and then with that beautiful Chinese five-spice flavor and we've got some brown sugar as well place the sauce and some finely grated garlic and some Chinese five-spice for that beautiful spice aroma and some soy sauce good teaspoon of salt as well and now to get that restaurant style classic red color for our pork without using any nasty additives so I'm gonna use beetroot powder and you can find that in a lot of health food stores these days and that's gonna give us a really beautiful natural red color okay so give that a good mix now we take a resealable bag and pop out pieces of pork into that so much easier than cleaning up a bowl also with that red food coloring you want to make sure that you're not staining any your utensils or poker okay so that's why I'm also gonna do this on a tray I'm gonna put a tray underneath marinade and that bag of pork barbecue pork is delicious but not worth ruining your bench tops over okay so pour that carefully into the bag now just close that up nice and tight and then give that bag as good shake and really massage that marinade into the pork now you want to get that into the fridge overnight a few hours will do it a pinch but I really want that pork to soak up all of the flavor and all of the color as well and I can really see it that pork soaked up a lot of that flavor so I'm gonna take that out I want to put that onto a baking tray now my baking tray I've just set up here with some foil underneath and then a rack on top now that's gonna save us on the washing up because this sticky marinade tends to burn on the bottom of trays and no one wants to deal with that and I'm just gonna pour a little bit of water just to cover the bottom of the tray I don't want it to come up above that rack that water's gonna help to steam the pork keep it nice and juicy and also help to keep that marinade from burning on the bottom and then that just needs 20 minutes in the oven now we're left with all these beautiful juices in the bottom of this bag so I'm just gonna pour that out into a saucepan I'm going to use this as a basting sauce but I can also use it as a side sauce for serving the pork so we want to bring this up to a boil and once you can see that it's boiling just turn the heat down and let that gently bubble and simmer away until it's nice and thick and glossy I tell you my kitchen is smelling amazing at the moment garlic five-spice up all my favorites okay I'm just gonna spoon out about half of that sauce into a bowl I'm gonna use that to baste our pork now we're really saying to get somewhere that pork is starting to look really good okay now I want to move this gorgeous sauce I'm gonna brush that on the top and serve glossy and then just turn that pork over and then rush the other side now back in the oven for 20 minutes just to cook that pork through yes where is that drool emoji when you need one earth pork what's amazing now just let that pork rest for 10 minutes and now the moment of truth and now we get to slice and eat my favorite time of the day oh there is nothing like making this homemade version of Chinese barbecue pork ah look at that so juicy through the center because we've used that particular cut of pork rather than the pork filling and then that glossy sweet sticky outside is just looking amazing there are so many recipes you can make at this port you can serve it with some steamed rice some cucumber and a little bit of that leftover sauce that we made or you can use it for noodle soups stir fries a whole bunch of things I'll be posting heaps of awesome things you can do with this Chinese barbecue pork over on my youtube channel so head there and don't forget to subscribe [Music]
