Char Siu Pork Pancakes 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:

• Cut spring onions and cucumbers into 10m (4") long thin strips.
• Place pork and sauce in a small pan and cook, stirring, over a low heat until hot, and keep warm.
• Making the Pancakes:.Whisk the milk into the lightly beaten eggs; place the flour in a large bowl, make a well in the centre of the flour and gradually whisk in the eggs and the milk, and seaon, to taste, with the salt and pepper.
• Cooking the Pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled 22cm/81/2", preferably heavy-based and non-stick, pan over a medium heat; pour 1/3 cup of the pancake batter into the pan and tilt the pan so that the batter is evenly spread across the base of the pan; cook until the pancake is lightly browned; turn the pancake over and cook for another 15 seonds; slide onto a plate and keep warm; repeat to make the remaining 7-8 pancakes.
• Serving the Pancakes: Serve the pancakes warm, either assembled on a serving platter, or on individual serving plates. Place a 1/4 cup of the pork mixture into the centre of each pancake, top with spring onions and cucumber and fold the pancake over the filling, so that the centre of the pancake serves as the base and contains the filling and about a quarter of the pancake on each side is folded over to enclose the filling.
• NOTE: Alternatively, you can serve the pancakes and fillings separately and allow people to assemble their own pancakes. In this case, you might want to prepare slightly more spring onion and cucumber so that it doesn't run out.

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:

• Place all ingredients except pork in a small saucepan and bring to simmer for 30 seconds. Set aside to cool.
• Place pork and marinade in ziplock bag. Remove as much air as possible, then massage it so the marinade is all over the pork. Place in the fridge and marinate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight (up to 48 hours).
• Take pork out of the fridge and bring it to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 350°F Line a baking tray with foil or baking/parchment paper. Remove pork from the marinade. Save marinade for basting.
• Roast pork for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145 - 160°F Every 10 minutes, baste generously with reserved marinade- this is key for a thick, glossy glaze.
• After 25 minutes, switch the oven to the broiler/grill and broil until charred & caramelized- 4 to 6 minutes. Note: For extra glaze, add a dollop of honey to remaining marinade. Chinese BBQ shops do this. Do this towards the end of the cooking time while broiling, otherwise it will burn.
• Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Serve with garlic shiitake noodles or rice and enjoy!
