Char Siew Roast Pork

I LOVE to eat char siew. That taste, that smell.... it feels like I am in heaven each time I eat it. Before Thermomix, it is very difficult to make it. Roasting it in the oven takes so much time, and you have to really watch your meat else it gets burnt. Furthermore,  the oven gets very oily after that, and cleaning up is really a chore. Making it now with Thermomix is so easy, I can make it any time I get the crave to eat it, which is pretty often!

*You can substitute pork for chicken with the same amount of seasoning.


Ingredients:

Marinate 1 kg of pork belly with:
1 tablespoon oyster sauce,
2 tablespoon light soy sauce,
2 tablespoon sugar,
1 tablespoon honey,
1 tablespoon rice wine,
1 teaspoon 5 spice powder,
5 shallots and 5 garlics blended,
a little dark soy sauce,
a little salt and pepper

If you prefer your char siew shining golden brown, place the char siew in the oven after Step 3 on grill for a few minutes till your pork is shining brown. It should look something like this below:
