👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients: honey (2 tbsp), hoisin sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, five-spice powder, salt, minced garlic, grated ginger, and mashed red fermented bean curd (if using). Mix well.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure the red fermented bean curd is mashed smoothly. - 2
Place the pork strips in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour about 3/4 of the marinade over the pork, ensuring all pieces are coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for glazing.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Pierce the pork with a fork to help the marinade penetrate. - 3
Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
⏱️ 6-12 hours - 4
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated pork on the rack, ensuring pieces do not touch.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Placing a pan with a little water on the rack below can catch drippings and keep the oven moist. - 5
Roast the pork for 20 minutes. Flip the pork, baste with some of the reserved marinade, and roast for another 20 minutes.
⏱️ 40 minutes - 6
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tbsp honey with 2 tsp water to create a glaze. Brush this glaze over the pork.
💡 Consigli Professionali: This glaze adds extra shine and sweetness. - 7
Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and roast for another 10-15 minutes, basting with the glaze every 5 minutes, until the pork is caramelized and slightly charred at the edges.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes - 8
Remove from oven and let the char siu rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For a more intense red color, use red fermented bean curd.
- ✓Don't overcrowd the baking rack; allow air circulation for even cooking.
- ✓The internal temperature of the pork should reach at least 145°F (63°C).
