Lindas Char Siu Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Cut pork with the grain into strips 1 1/2- to 2-inches long; put into a large resealable plastic bag.
• Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red food coloring or red bean curd (see Cook's Note), and Chinese five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the marinade into the bag with the pork, squeeze air from the bag, and seal. Turn bag a few times to coat all pork pieces in marinade.
• Marinate pork in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Discard remaining marinade.
• Cook pork on preheated grill for 20 minutes. Put a small container of water onto the grill and continue cooking, turning the pork regularly, until cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, make slashes along the top and bottom of the pork fillet.
• Combine all the remaining ingredients, and marinade the pork for 2-3 hrs., or overnight if you can.
• Preheat the oven to 350.
• Drain the pork from its marinade, and place on a rack set over a roasting pan, half-filled with hot water.
• Cook the pork for about 15 minutes, then coat with some sauce.
• Turn the meat over so it colors on all sides. Baste regularly with the extra marinade while cooking.
• Cook for 15-25 more minutes more, testing at 15 minutes to see if it's done to your liking.
• Let sit for 10 minutes to distribute juices, then slice into 1/4" pieces, and serve.

Steps:

• Mix all Char Siu Sauce ingredients in a nonreactive bowl and set aside.
• Place the pork chunks in a food-grade vacuum sealing bag and pour the ingredients of the Char Siu sauce in bag, surrounding the tenderloin.
• Vacuum seal the bag and store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 12-hrs. The longer the better (up to 12-hrs).
• Using a Sous Vide, cook the tenderloin (in the vacuum bag with the marinade) at 139 F or 59.4 C for 2.5 - 3 hours.
• Once the pork is done cooking, remove it and set the remaining sauce aside in a small saucepan.
• Add 4 tablespoons of honey to the char siu sauce.
• Place sauce over medium heat and reduce to about half the volume.
• Using a basting brush, baste the tenderloin with the reduced Char Siu sauce.
• Baste the remaining sauce over the tenderloin and use a Searzall® culinary torch to achieve great char-color or grill for 10-mins @ 500F, basting every 5 minutes Remove when color meets your approval. (Remember, it's already cooked -- so don't overdo it).
• Let rest for 10 min then cut into bite-sized pieces to use in your dishes, such as fried rice or lo mein.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients but the pork in a bowl to create the marinade.
• Place the roasts in a zip-lock bag and pour in the marinade. Marinate the meat overnight.
• Preheat oven to 300ºF.
• Place pork roasts onto a rack over a sheet pan. Reserve the left-over marinade. Don't forget to line the pan with aluminum foil or you'll be very sorry when clean-up time comes.
• Roast 1 hour.
• While pork is roasting, place the reserved marinade in a saucepan and boil vigorously for 5 to 10 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
• After the 1 hour roasting time, baste the pork with the thickened glaze. Place back into the oven for 10 to 15 minutes to set the glaze.
• Let rest 10 minutes. Slice the pork thinly and serve over noodles (or rice).

Steps:

• Put the pork in a roasting tin, tip over all the marinade ingredients and massage it in with your fingers (or use a spoon) to coat the pork. Cover and chill overnight.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Cover the tin with foil and cook the pork for 31/2 hrs, basting every hour. Increase the oven temperature to 180C/160C/gas 4, remove the foil, baste the pork and continue to cook for 45 mins until it is beginning to caramelise around the edges.
• Remove the pork from the tin and set aside to rest for 20 mins. Meanwhile, spoon away any fat from the tin and transfer the sauce to a small pan. Slice the pork - it will fall apart as you cut into it - then return to the tin. Warm the sauce in the pan, then pour over the meat and toss everything together. Spoon into the hot buns with the Pickled carrot & mooli, spring onions and a dollop of wasabi mayonnaise.

Steps:

• Cut the pork lengthways into strips 2 inches wide and 1-inch thick and put into a nonreactive container. Combine the marinade ingredients in a saucepan over low heat and stir together. Leave to cool, then stir in the garlic and massage the marinade into the pork. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bring the pork back to room temperature and drain off the excess marinade into a small bowl. Place the pork on a rack in the middle of the oven and put a roasting pan containing a cupful of hot water underneath on the bottom rack. Roast the meat for 20 minutes, basting with the marinade occasionally. Reduce the oven to 350°F and roast for a further 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165°F.
• Cool the pork briefly, then cut it into bite-size pieces. Garnish with spring onions and serve as an appetizer or with steamed rice as a light meal.

Steps:

• In a 4-quart pot, bring milk and 5 cups broth to a boil over medium-high. Gradually whisk in polenta. Continue to whisk until polenta thickens. Reduce heat to low, season with salt and pepper, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until cooked, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, flatten pork pieces into medallions between the palms of your hands. Season pork with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Add half the pork and cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil; repeat with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and pork.
• Return skillet to heat and add 1 teaspoon oil, onions, chard stems, and cup broth. Cook, scraping up browned bits, until vegetables begin to soften, 5 minutes (reduce heat to prevent burning as needed). Add chard leaves and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar, 3/4 cup broth, and pork with any accumulated juices; cook until liquid has almost evaporated, 4 minutes.
• Pour 4 cups polenta into a lightly oiled 8-inch square baking dish; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for later use. Stir butter into remaining polenta. Season pork and vegetables with salt and pepper and serve over polenta.

Steps:

• Combine water and white sugar in saucepan, bring to a boil.
• Add ketchup, return to boil.
• Dissolve cornstarch in cold water.
• Add cornstarch mixture to boiling mixture slowly, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and continue stirring until thickened.
• note- this makes a fairly thick sauce.
• If you prefer a runnier consistency, use less cornstarch.
