Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 tsp Chinese 5 spice
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine
  • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 500g pork belly slices

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients, except the pork, in a small mixing bowl. Place the pork in a shallow dish. Pour over the marinade and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the grill to high. Remove the pork from the fridge, to bring to room temperature. Place the pork belly slices onto a lined grilling rack and transfer the remaining marinade into a small saucepan.    Cook the pork for 4 to  5 minutes on one side, until dark around the edges. Turn and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, bring the marinade to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.   Transfer to a jug and serve with the pork.
  • Transfer to a warm plate, cover with foil and it rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve immediately.   We enjoyed ours with rice and greens.

Notes

  • This char sui pork recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
