46. VIDEO Char Siew
Home Made Grilled Char Siew
11 Oct 2018
my first time - cooking char siew!
i wasn't really keen on char siew when i was growing up as i'm a huge fan of savoury dishes and i didn't quite like overly sweetened food - sometimes char siew tends to be too sweet for me. also, i am a little afraid/horrified of the red colour haha!!
but the main reason for being fussy about my char siew is that i really don't enjoy roast meats that has become too dry (like jerkies or bak quah)... because the char siew meat tends to dry out quite quickly unless eaten as soon as it's sliced.
my all time favourite char siew treats are those made & prepared by authentic hong kong restaurant chefs!
my video and pics
my ref below... i like this recipe as they use less oil and it's very easy to prepare at home!
because grilled, roasted or bbq meats are "heaty", cucumbers are usually used to balance the body's chi as cucumbers are "cooling"

you'd notice that if you reduce the sauce right, it will be thick and sticky and sweet! kinda reminds me of teriyaki sauce Lol
