Chinese BBQ Pork - the EASY version!
This recipe is for lazy people like me, less work, less ingredients - but awesome result! There are hundreds of Chinese BBQ pork recipes out there, but this one got to be the easiest way! For those who buy the ready made BBQ Pork from chinese shops, you would know how expensive they can be by the kg! I think they are around $23 a kilo.
Note: I don't normally use measuring spoons etc unless it is necessary
Ingredients
- Around 1.5 kg of pork neck ( you can use pork fillets, but they are more expensive and not as much fat so it will be a little dry), prices varies for this cut of meat, the cheapest I got was $7.99/kg at Chatswood Westfield Fresh Food level. 1.5 kg will serve a good 3-4 portions.
- Few heap spoons of Char Sui Sauce ( I use Lee Kum Kee brand, 1.1kg bottle cost about $7.00)
- Few heap spoons of Hoi Sin Sauce ( Kee Kum Kee brand again, around $3.50 a jar). Both sauces are good to have in your pantry items at all time!

- Honey
- Soy Sauce
- Sugar
- Sesame oil
Steps
1. Cut meat LONG way, depending the size of the meat you got, you can probably get 3 - 4 long strips (If decided to make this later, you can always wrap the meat strips separately with cling wraps and pop them in the freezer)
2. Cover meat with Char Sui Sauce and Hoi Sin Sauce
3. For best result, marinate in fridge over night
4. Put marinated pork in pre-heated oven, 180 degrees. Depending the size of the meat, once you see some charcoal on the edge of the meat, it should be ready. If you are unsure, poke the meat with a thin metal rod, it is cooked if clear liquid come out from the meat.
6. Cut and serve!! I like to make a light/ sweet soy sauce to go with the meat and rice, but this is optional!
Just mix soy sauce with water (50:50), add sugar and sesame oil, heat up until sugar melts.
Note: You can also try this recipe with chicken thigh fillets, YUMMO!!!
Tip: Left over BBQ Pork can be use in stir fry and fried rice. I know someone who even put it in their sandwiches!
