Ingredients
  

Char Siu Pork Pandesal Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 4 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 5 cloves Garlic finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3/4 kilo pork pigue skin removed
  • Pandesal to serve

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except pork, cornstarch, honey, and pandesal. Transfer half of marinade into a small saucepan, and set aside.
  • Slice pork pigue into 4 large chunks. Marinate pork in the sauce, covered, overnight.
  • Meanwhile, make char siu sauce: whisk in cornstarch and honey into the saucepan with the reserved marinade until dissolved. Place over medium heat, and bring to a boil, whisking to prevent lumps. Cook until thickened. Remove from heat, and cool. Store in the ref until needed.
  • Preheat oven to 400?F.
  • Remove pork from marinade. Place pork on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven 40 minutes, or until outside is charred, basting with prepared sauce as needed. Remove from oven, and cool. Transfer pork to a chopping board, and slice pork into thin medallions.
  • Place pork into pandesal. Slather with more char siu sauce, and serve. Recipe orginally published in the August 2015 issue of Good Housekeeping Philippines.
