Smokey Char Siu Pork

Recipe By Michael Weldon

Ingredients

  • 1 pork scotch roast

Marinade

  • 1 tbs Coles brown sugar

  • ¼ cup honey

  • ¼ cup hoisin 

  • 1 tbs Coles Asia soy sauce

  • 1 tbs ketchup manis 

  • 1 tbs gochujang

  • 1 tbs Chinese 5 spice

  • 1 tbs shaoxing wine 

Steamed Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce and Garlic

  • 1 bunch Chinese broccoli

  • 1 tsp corn flour

  • 3 tbs water

  • 2 tbs oyster sauce

  • 1 tbs Chinese cooking wine

  • 2 garlic cloves, diced

  • 1 tsp ginger diced

  • 1 tsp caster sugar

  • 1 tbs sesame oil

Method

  • In a bowl mix together the marinade ingredients. 

  • Cut the pork roast into 2 pieces so that the pieces are long and flat. Place the pork in the marinade and marinate for 12 hours. 

  • Heat a smoker or bbq to 180 – 200 degrees (C). This is a hot and fast cook rather than a low and slow cook.

  • Place the pork onto the smoker and cook for 1.5 – 2 hours basting and turning the pork every 15 minutes until its caramelised on the outside and the meat is tender.

  • Place a bamboo steamer onto a wok of boiling water. Add the Chinese broccoli to the steamer and place the lid on top. 

  • In a small saucepan combine the corn flour and water, mix until smooth. Add the remaining oyster sauce and garlic ingredients to the saucepan and place on a medium heat burner. Cook until the sauce thickens and the garlic softens. Once the Chinese broccoli is steamed place onto a serving plate and pour the oyster and garlic sauce over the top.

  • Allow the char siu to rest then slice into thin strips. 

  • Serve the pork with the broccoli and some steamed rice on the side.
