After trying out a few Happy Call Doubled Sided Pan recipes, I decided to challenge myself to cook something more sophisticated. I decided to make home made Char Siew! So I went to the supermarket and bought a piece of pork loin.
I marinated the pork loin and left it overnight. I realized my char siew did not fully absorb the flavours. After checking with some kitchen experts, they advised me to poke holes in the meat next time when I want to marinate. The Char Siew was also lacking in sweetness and I don't how on earth I have left out the honey in the recipe.
This is the finally product of my grilled Char Siew. I didn't manage to control the fire well and I should have checked the meat more often.
Nevertheless, the Char Siew was still very beautiful inside. Hopefully I can perfect it in my next attempt.
