Instructions
 

🥩Method for making Char Siu Pork

  • 1. Marinate (Minimum 4 hours, overnight best)

    👉 This is where the flavour builds—don’t rush it
    Mix everything into a thick marinade
    Coat pork well
    Cover and refrigerate

  • 2. Roast

    Preheat oven to 200°C
    Place pork on a rack (tray underneath)
    Roast 25–30 minutes, turning once
  • 3. Glaze & Finish
    Brush with extra honey + marinade.
    Return to oven for 10–15 minutes until sticky and caramelised.
  • 4. Rest & Slice
    Rest 10 minutes, then slice thin.
    • You’re looking for dark edges, sticky glaze, and a slight char.👉 That’s where the flavour lives.

🍜 Chinese Combination Noodles

  • Prep everything first
  • Cook proteins separately → remove
  • Stir-fry garlic + onion
  • Add veg (hard → soft order)
  • Add noodles mix/toss well
  • Return meats + char siu
  • Add sauce → coat
  • Finish with bean shoots + bok choy
    • This dish works because of contrast:
    👉 That balance = restaurant quality
    Sweet char siu
    Savoury sauce
    Fresh crunch from veg
    High heat is essential for proper stir-fry flavour. Cook proteins separately to avoid steaming and keep textures clean.
    👉 Cut pork into 2–3 cm thick strips
    This:
    Cooks evenly
    Keeps it juicy
    Mimics traditional hanging char siu
