My favorite Chinese food ever! Chinese dark soy sauce is actually a key component. Serve with rice or noodles.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Shaoxing cooking wine
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon pureed kiwi
1 tablespoon Chinese dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon Thai chile sauce
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
½ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 ½ pounds pork belly, skin removed

Steps:

  • Mix honey, cooking wine, hoisin sauce, kiwi, dark soy sauce, chile sauce, garlic, oyster sauce, and five-spice powder together in a large resealable plastic bag. Add pork belly. Seal bag, pressing out as much air as possible.
  • Place bag on a plate and marinate pork belly in the refrigerator, flipping occasionally, for at least 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C) with a rack in the upper third of the oven. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Place pork belly on the wire rack, reserving marinade.
  • Bake pork belly in the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 1 hour. Remove pork belly from the oven; baste with reserved marinade.
  • Move oven rack to the top position and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Broil pork until it is dark and glossy and the edges start to blacken, about 5 minutes. Flip and baste on the second side. Continue broiling until second side darkens and starts to blacken, about 5 minutes more. Slice with a sharp knife.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the pork.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. I had some cooked pork shoulder in the fridge, and I used it to make char siu pork. It turned out really well!

The char siu pork was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try marinating the pork for longer next time.
