Char Sui Pork, recipe by Hayden Quinn

Ingredients

Char sui marinade

Quick chilli pickled cucumber

Method

  1. For the marinade, combine all ingredients. Rub over the pork. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan-forced.
  3. For the pickle, in a small saucepan combine ¼ cup (60ml) water with chilli, vinegar and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Place cukes in a bowl then pour over hot liquid. Set aside to pickle.
  5. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium–high heat. Drain pork from marinade, then place in frying pan and cook for 5–6 minutes, turning until charred. Transfer to a oven tray and roast 10 minutes or until cooked.
  6. Place reserved marinade in a small saucepan with ¼ cup (60ml) water and bring to a simmer. Cook for 4–5 minutes.
  7. Remove pork from the oven and rest, lightly covered in foil, for 5 minutes. Slice then pour over the cooked marinade.
  8. Serve with pickles.
