Honey Maltose BBQ ( Char Siew)

gluey sticky sauce, really good.



Recipe from: No-frills Recipes
Ingredients
1 kg pork belly without skin
4 and 1/2 tbsp honey
4 and 1/2 tbsp Maltose
2 tbsp dark soya sauce
3 and 1/2 tbsp light soya sauce
1 and 1/4 tsp five spice powder
3 tbsp shaoshing wine

next, drizzle a bit of shaoxin wine and serve with some remaining sauce.
I think I will get more "fatty" pork belly next round :)



Method
1.  Combine honey, maltose, dark and light soya sauce, five spice powder and pepper in a saucepan. On a very low heat, stir and heat gently.  Let cool.

2.  Pour the cooled sauce over the pork belly, stir and marinade well,  cover and keep in the fridge overnight ( I just let it rest for several hours instead).

3.  In a wok, together with the thawed pork belly ( at room temperature) and 1/2 cup water, let it  cook on medium heat.  Once the meat is tender, dish out some sauce and reserve for serving.  Let meat continue to cook with the remaining sauce till semi-dry.

4.  Transfer to oven and grill for 2 minutes on both sides. Remove, drizzle with shaoxin wine.

5.  Slice up the meat and serve with white rice or noodle.
