This is a traditional Chinese recipe for pork - the pork is very flavorful and fairly sweet. I had never heard of this until my first trip to Hawaii; now I know what I was missing. I'm posting a companion recipe for this (Cha Siu Bao - barbecued pork buns) in a few days. Prep time includes marinating time. Ingredients:
1 lb pork (i use boneless chops) |
3 garlic cloves |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1 tablespoon honey |
1 tablespoon wine |
1/2 teaspoon chinese five spice powder |
red food coloring |
Directions:
1. Trim the fat from the pork and cut into chunks; each chunk should be between 2-4 bites.
2. Blend all remaining ingredients.
3. The pork and marinade should be fairly bright red- add enough food coloring to give it a nice color.
4. Marinate for at least 3 and preferable 24 hours.
5. Broil or grill for 3-4 minutes on a side or until the pork is done through.
