Garlic Char Siew ( Chinese Barbecue Pork )

Unknown Friday, June 13, 2014 2 comments

This is the third version of Chinese Barbecue Pork in my blog. The first one was marinated and grilled, second was marinated and pan fried.  In this third version the sauces for the marinate are cooked until fragrant before using as marinade for the pork.  I choose to pan fry the pork.

  1. Heat up 2 tablespoon oil and fry minced garlic until fragrant.
  2. Add in the sauces, sugar, Chinese wine, five spice and water.
  3. Bring to a boil.
  4. Lower the heat and continue to boil for 5 minutes.
  5. Thicken with the cornflour mixture.
