This is a simple recipe for Char-Siu Bau. A wok equipped with a stainless steel steam plate--a plate with holes to allow steam to pass--is required to make these tasty buns.

Categories     Bread

Time 9h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ pound boneless pork loin roast
½ cup barbecue sauce
3 tablespoons shallots, chopped
⅓ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 recipe Chinese Steamed Buns

Steps:

  • Mix together pork, barbecue sauce, shallots, flour, chicken stock, soy sauce, oil, and sugar. Chill in refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Cook the pork until an instant-read meat thermometer reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Allow to cool; shred or finely chop the meat.
  • Prepare dough for Chinese Steamed Buns (see footnote).
  • Shape dough into balls. Roll each out into a circle, (like won-ton wrappers). Put 1 tablespoonful of prepared meat mixture in the center of each circle, and wrap dough around filling. Place seam-side down onto wax paper squares. Let stand until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Bring water to a boil in wok, and reduce heat to medium; the water should still be boiling. Place steam-plate on a small wire rack in the middle of the wok. Transfer as many buns on wax paper as will comfortably fit onto steam-plate, leaving 1 to 2 inches between the buns. At least 2 inches space should be left between steam-plate and the wok. Cover wok with lid. Steam buns over boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • REMOVE LID BEFORE you turn off heat, or else water will drip back onto bun surface and produce yellowish "blisters" on bun surfaces. Continue steaming batches of buns until all are cooked.

CHINESE-STYLE BBQ PORK RIBS



Chinese-Style BBQ Pork Ribs image

Always the crowd pleaser at any BBQ. Sweet and sticky. This family favorite was handed down to me. I wouldn't do ribs any other way. It's a little involved: overnight marinade, baking, then finishing off on the BBQ, but well worth the effort. And kids love them too! I like to serve this with corn on the cob, an herb or pilaf rice, roasted potatoes, or a salad.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 rack pork baby back ribs
4 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons white wine
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 cloves crushed garlic
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce (such as Lee Kum Kee)
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon white wine
1 tablespoon brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel membrane off the bone side of ribs, if desired. Poke meat all over with a fork; place ribs in a resealable plastic zip-top bag.
  • Mix soy sauce, white wine, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, five-spice, and black pepper together. Pour over the ribs in the bag, seal, and marinate at least 1 hour, ideally overnight. Shake bag occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove ribs from marinade and place in a greased baking pan. Discard marinade.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, turning once, until meat pulls away easily from the bone, 50 to 55 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, mix hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, wine, brown sugar, five-spice, garlic powder, and pepper together for the BBQ sauce. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Keep ribs wrapped in aluminum foil until ready to grill.
  • Grill ribs over medium-low to medium heat, brushing with the BBQ sauce, until sauce is thick and ribs are heated through, with some grill marks, 15 to 20 minutes. Do not overcook or they will become dry. Slice before serving.

CHAR SIU (CHINESE BBQ PORK)



Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork) image

"Char siu" literally means "fork roast" - "char" being "fork" (both noun and verb) and "siu" being "roast" - after the traditional cooking method for the dish: long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire. This is best cooked over charcoal, but it's important to cook with indirect heat.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pork tenderloins
½ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup ketchup
⅓ cup brown sugar
¼ cup Chinese rice wine
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
½ teaspoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

Steps:

  • Cut pork with the grain into strips 1 1/2- to 2-inches long; put into a large resealable plastic bag.
  • Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red food coloring or red bean curd (see Cook's Note), and Chinese five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the marinade into the bag with the pork, squeeze air from the bag, and seal. Turn bag a few times to coat all pork pieces in marinade.
  • Marinate pork in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Discard remaining marinade.
  • Cook pork on preheated grill for 20 minutes. Put a small container of water onto the grill and continue cooking, turning the pork regularly, until cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

CHINESE BBQ PORK



Chinese BBQ Pork image

This is a household staple for us! As good as store-bought! Serve it over rice, or alone as an appetizer, or any way you like!

Provided by Fran Say

Categories     Meat Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pork tenderloins, about 1-1/2 lbs.
2-1/4 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp sherry wine
1 Tbsp black bean sauce
1-1/2 tsp gingerroot, minced or finely grated
2 Tbsp brown sugar, packed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 pinch five-spice powder

Steps:

  • 1. Trim any fat from tenderloins; tuck ends under and tie each tenderloin with kitchen string.
  • 2. Place in a shallow ceramic or glass baking dish. Whisk together remaining ingredients to make marinade and pour over pork, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
  • 3. Let stand for 30 minutes at room temperature before cooking. Preheat oven to 375F. Place pork on rack in roasting pan, reserving marinade.
  • 4. Pour 1 cup water in pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes, basting generously 4 times or until meat themometer inserted at 20-degree angle registers 160F and meat still has a just a hint of pink.
  • 5. Remove from oven and cover with tented foil. Let stand for 10 minutes, then remove string and slice diagonally into thin slices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. The best cuts for Chinese BBQ pork are pork shoulder or pork butt. These cuts have a good amount of fat, which helps to keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Use a good quality marinade. The marinade is what gives Chinese BBQ pork its characteristic flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains a variety of spices and flavors, such as soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Chinese five-spice powder, and ginger.
  • Marinate the pork for at least 24 hours. The longer you marinate the pork, the more flavor it will absorb. If you don't have time to marinate the pork for 24 hours, you can marinate it for as little as 30 minutes, but the flavor will not be as pronounced.
  • Cook the pork over indirect heat. This will help to prevent the pork from drying out. If you are using a charcoal grill, place the coals on one side of the grill and cook the pork on the other side. If you are using a gas grill, turn one burner off and cook the pork over the other burner.
  • Cook the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the pork is cooked through but still moist and tender.
  • Serve the Chinese BBQ pork with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or egg rolls.

Conclusion:

Chinese BBQ pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is easy to make and can be cooked on a variety of grills. With its sweet, savory, and smoky flavor, Chinese BBQ pork is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
