Hi everyone! Welcome to Amanda's Taste
Today I'm going to show you how to make
The very popular barbecued pork
For making this barbecued pork
You will need the pork shoulder
And the rest are for making the sauce
Mei kuei lu chiew, oyster sauce, red yeast rice
black pepper, cloves garlic, piece of ginger, soy sauce
And honey
It is very important to choose the part of the pork
Better to choose the pork shoulder blade steak
It's the meat between the front leg and the body
After you cut it
You can see the evenly spread grease
The pork tastes smooth and soft with these grease
Cut the pork into 5cm stripes of meat
Put aside
Then let's make my own barbecued sauce
Let me introduce this mei kuei lu chiew
This is the cooking wine used frequently
In Cantonese food
Low alcohol white wine
With some rose aroma
If you don't have this kind of wine
You can replace it with common low alcohol white wine
rice wine, or any other cooking wine
Put the red yeast rice in a bowl
Pour in the mei kuei lu chiew
Soy sauce
Soak the red yeast rice for about half an hour
The rice will become soft
Use the spoon to check the rice along the bowl
When you can easily grind the rice
It's done
Use your spoon to grind like this
To extract as much red color in the rice as you can
And strain it
The sauce you get after straining has some red color in
This is to make our pork looks red after baking
But the red yeast rice is just for coloring
If you don't have it you can just skip it
It won't affect the flavor
Just your meat won't look that red after baking
Pour in the oyster sauce
Honey
And black pepper
Stir it well
Then our barbecued sauce is ready
You can make some changes
According to your own preference
For example,
Add in some plum sauce or five spice powder
Both can make some variation to the tastes
If you don't want to make it on your own
It is totally fine to buy it from the store
Let's make some comparison
The homemade sauce is more reddish
Because of the red yeast rice
The bought sauce contains more sugar in it
And it's thicker
Now we are going to marinate
Take a storage bag and put the meat in
Then put in the cloves garlic and ginger
Pour in the homemade sauce
Squeeze the air out of the bag and seal up the bag
Massage the meat
Put in to the refrigerator and marinate it for 1 to 2 days
You should marinate the meat for enough time
So the meat can absorb the sauce
So you have to prepare it first before you cook it
I marinated these meat for one and a half day
Now take it out and place it on the grill
Remember to place a aluminum foil on the baking tray
And let's prepare the sauce to brush on the pork
It will need the reserved marinade, honey, and oil
Mix the same amount of this three ingredients together
Stir it well
Later we will brush it on the surface of the meat
It will give the meat the beautiful caramel color
Now you can preheat the oven
To 200℃
Better select the grilled mode if your oven has it
Brush the sauce evenly on the marinated meat
Brush both sides of the meat
Remember to place a aluminum foil on the tray
Basically it is not possible to clean the tray
If you don't have the aluminum foil on it
Now put the meat you brushed it once into the oven
Put in the upper middle of the oven for 10 minutes
10 minutes later
The meat is started to caramelize
Now, you have to brush the meat with the sauce again
Brush both sides evenly
And then flip the meat over
Put it back to the oven
200℃ for another 10 minutes
So it's 20 minutes in total
Adjust the time according to the size of the meat
20 minutes will be enough for the size of my meat today
The bigger the meat, the more time you need
Immediately brush some oil on the meat
Right out of the oven
To prevent the meat becomes dry
To make it oily on the surface
And then you have to wait with patience
Cut it until the meat gets warm
Don't cut it right out of the oven
It's the same concept as the steak
Cool it a bit or wait till it's completely cooled
Cut into thin slices then it's ready to go on the table
You can add some additional plum sauce
Or the homemade sauce we just made
Boiled it and make it thicker
Then you can bring it on the table as the dip sauce
But with this recipe
The pork will taste perfectly even without any sauce
It's not hard to make the barbecued pork
You just need to have patience
Have enough time to marinate the meat
Control the heat well while grilling the meat
Make the surface of the pork cover with
The beautiful caramel color
And inside the meat
It's pink because of the red yeast rice
And the juices are sealed perfectly inside the pork
Very tender and tasty
It's perfect in and out
And the selection of the meat is very important
It must has the proper amount of fat in it
So I don't recommend making it with tenderloin
If you like it more greasy
You can use the pork belly
