Char Siu

Ingredients

• 1 kg Pork shoulder, cut into long strips

For the marinade

• 6 tbsp Char siu sauce (see recipe)

For the glaze

• 2–3 tbsp Maltose, or honey
• 1 tbsp Rose wine

Equipment

• Roasting tin, with a wire rack
• Meat thermometer (optional)

Method

1. 1

   Marinate the pork overnight in the sauce - don't forget the rose wine, that is where the magic happens. You won't taste the wine, but it imparts a fragance that makes all the difference.

2. 2

   Roast at 200°C for 45 minutes, turning and basting halfway.

3. 3

   Brush with warmed maltose and roast for a final 5 minutes to glaze. You may substitute maltose with honey if you want.
