Char Shiu Pork



Wanting to make Char Shiu Pao after buying the pao's instant mix, but before making that, I have to make the Char Shiu first as it is not sold around my area. I have searched before for recipes a long time ago, but haven't made it yet, finally I decided on one of the recipe which looked as the simplest one and looks promising, I found it here.
But after making the Char Shiu, it tasted just too good to make it as ingredients for Char Shiu Pao, I decided it to be the main course of our dinner tonight with rice :) It's sooooo yummy...
Hubby said it's a bit too sweet but I liked it that way, I used the recipe for 1 kg pork to using a 1/2 kg. So please just adjust the recipe to your liking.

Ingredients :

1/2 kg pork butt (kapsim)

puree these ingredients (I used pestle and mortar) :
- 3 big / 4 medium sized garlic
- 1 tbsp fermented soya bean (sweet or salty is the same) (tauco)
- 1 tbsp red fermented rice (angkak)

1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp five spice powder
1 tbsp rice wine (ang ciu)
1/2 tbsp white pepper (black pepper is ok too)
2 tbsp sugar

3-5 tbsp honey

How to make :
- marinate pork butt with all the other ingredients except honey for 3-5 hours (overnight is better)
- bake in oven 170 C around 45 minutes, check the meat by poking it with a bamboo skewer until white liquid comes out when poked
- glaze the meat with honey on all it sides

We're not going to say something distinct than what we've stated ahead of: the Galaxy S III's camera is among the smartphone greats, and T-Mobile hasn't completed anything to screw that up. In addition to possessing a complete suite of customization settings, the 8-megapixel sensor comes with autofocus, an f/two.6 lens and the capability to lock exposure and focus when holding down the shutter. And to honor the basic mantra of Ice Cream Sandwich, shutter lag is incredibly quick and practically instantaneous. We also adore the camera's low-light functionality, mainly thanks to getting a number of options such as evening/candlelight / sunset/dawn modes, flash, and HDR. That last choice was our preferred tool when attempting to capture sunsets, or when we just necessary a tiny boost in light without having a major increase in noise (night mode could capture much more errant light, but graininess was an unfortunate side impact).

Forty-four Americans have now Online Transcription Service taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken in the course of rising tides of prosperity and the nonetheless waters of peace. But, every so typically the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply since of the skill or vision of these in a higher workplace, but due to the fact We the Folks have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and accurate to our founding documents.
