char siew
i have tried char siew quite a few times using different meats & preparations.
i used the same method for miso belly pork which was very nice too.
i must say while the miso belly pork is a more unique dish the char siew by the “sous vide” method is a bit more tedious & not really my favourite as one can buy cheap & good char siew easily outside.

but now i think now i found the right combination to reproduce easily very flavourful & tender, moist char siew, like so. a really excellent char siew. ^^

the key is (a) the marinade to produce the right flavour (b) the meat & preparation to produce a tasty, tender, moist meat.
so far, pork collar is the best choice. i tried the same recipe on belly pork but it was quite inferior by comparison.

i marinated the meat for 3 days in the chiller.
then i placed the meat on a rack in a preheated 250degC oven for 20mins.
it was as easy as that.
