Absolutely Yummy... I wanted to try making Char Siew in our nice new Weber Q 300 BBQ... & it turned out absolutely Yum... meat was succulent & juicy... top was slightly burnt to add to the "charcoal-y" nature of the dish... :-) Thanks heaps A. Margaret for working out a simple but absolutely yummy recipe for char siew! Love it... & so do the kids... Yay!! :-D
Ingredients:
1 tsp 5-spice-powder
White pepper to taste
Approx 1 - 2 tbsp light soya sauce
Approx 3 - 4 tbsp dark (thick) soya sauce
Approx 10 tbsp raw sugar
Approx 1 - 1.5kg pork neck
Method:
1. Put all ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
2. Clean pork with salt & wash off.
3. Slice pork into approx 3cm width - lengthwise.
4. Put pork into a ziplock bag with marinate. Make sure marinate totally covers all pork.5. Marinate for at least 5 - 6 hours (overnight is best).
6. Preheat Weber Q for 10 mins, then turn off middle element (if your Weber Q has one) and turn outer element to mid-low fire.
7. Put in Weber Q, close lid. Allow to cook for approx. 20 mins, turn meat then cook a further 10 - 20 mins till cooked.
8. If you do not have a Weber Q, bake in oven at approx 180C - 200C for about 30 mins turning once, till throughly cooked.
Note: I do not like using colouring hence the "lack" of colour on the inside of the meat... but I assure you it was yum... :-) The kids couldn't seem to get enough of it... :-D
