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.

Time 3h40m

Yield 4

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).

Yield Makes 2 to 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

14 oz fresh rice noodles, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips if necessary
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon peanut oil
3/4 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or medium-dry Sherry
1/4 lb snow peas, trimmed
4 scallions, cut into 2-inch-long julienne
6 oz cha siu (Chinese boneless barbecued pork), thinly sliced
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water
1/2 cup fresh mung bean sprouts
A few drops of Asian sesame oil

Steps:

  • Separate noodles, then toss with 1 teaspoon peanut oil.
  • Stir together 1/2 cup stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and rice wine.
  • Heat a wok over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add remaining 1/4 cup peanut oil, swirling wok to coat evenly, and heat until it just begins to smoke. Stir-fry noodles, tossing frequently, until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes (noodles will stick together). Add snow peas and scallions and stir-fry until snow peas are bright green and crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Add pork, garlic, and ginger and stir-fry 1 minute.
  • Add stock mixture and bring to a boil, stirring, then add remaining 1/4 cup stock. When mixture boils, stir cornstarch mixture and add to wok, then boil, stirring, until sauce is thickened and noodles are well coated, about 30 seconds. Stir in bean sprouts and remove wok from heat. Season with sesame oil and pepper.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients measured and prepped. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your chow fun is cooked perfectly.
  • Cook the noodles properly: The key to great chow fun is properly cooked noodles. Be sure to follow the package directions for cooking the noodles. If you overcook the noodles, they will become mushy and ruin the dish.
  • Use a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for getting that perfect wok hei, or "breath of the wok." If your wok is not hot enough, the noodles will not cook evenly and the vegetables will not get that nice charred flavor.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: The order in which you add the ingredients to the wok is important. Start with the aromatics (ginger, garlic, and onion) to flavor the oil. Then add the meat and cook until browned. Finally, add the noodles and vegetables and stir-fry until everything is cooked through.
  • Use a good quality sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of chow fun together. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.

Conclusion:

Chow fun is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. With a little practice, you can easily make chow fun at home that is just as good as what you would get from a restaurant. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give chow fun a try. You won't be disappointed!
