Easy But Authentic Homemade Char Siu
Homemade char siu is delicious but it takes quite a bit of time. So I came up with a way to make it easy and with only a few ingredients.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Season the block of meat with salt and pepper. (You don't need to wrap the meat with cooking twine.)
* Step 2
Brown the surfaces of the meat in a frying pan. (Use medium-high heat.)
* Step 3
Once browned, place into a pot and fill with water until the meat is just barely covered. Add the soy sauce, sake, mirin, and grated ginger.
* Step 4
Once it begins to boil, lower the heat to low and simmer for 1-1.5 hours. When the meat has become tender, raise the heat to high and boil for 10-20 minutes to thicken the sauce.
* Step 5
When the sauce has reduced by about half, it's done. When it cools, grease will be released, so it will be more healthy if you wipe it away.
* Step 6
You can top it on rice to make a char siu rice bowl.
* Step 7
Use it as a ramen topping.
