Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb char siu
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp garlic
  • 1 cup fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves scallions
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup Shaoxing wine
  • to taste good finishing oil
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the char siu dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the char siu, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
Keep cooking
