Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. Appreciate you all stopping by. Today I'm going to show
you how I prepare this delicious Chinese roast pork or char siu pork with fried rice.
Okay guys, so let's take a quick look at these ingredients. Here I have some pork shoulder,
already washed and pat dry. I'll be using some soy sauce, house and sauce and oyster sauce.
I also have some brown sugar, garlic and ginger, some Chinese five spice, white pepper,
Chinese cooking wine and some red food coloring. So first things first, you want to combine all of
the ingredients. Here I'm using a Ziploc bag but feel free to use a bowl if you prefer.
So you want to combine all these ingredients, mix well and make sure that everything is
into the marinade and you want to make sure that the pork is well coated in there.
Then we will close the bag up and place it into the fridge overnight. You want to allow this to
marinate real well so those flavors can penetrate into the meat and you know you will have flavor
all the way through. The least amount of time you want to marinate this is for about 6 to 8 hours
but overnight will give you the best results. Now moving on to the next day, I did line my
baking tray with some foil paper. You want to do this so that you protect your utensils because
you know it will be honey and all types of spices in here and your baking pan will burn. You don't
want to have a ruined baking pan so you want to line it with some foil paper and then we will
place the pork on top of a wire rack because you know you want the air circulating while we roast
in the pork. So here I will add some water just to make sure the pork stays moist because we will not
be covering it. We will be roasting the pork so you want to add a little water there to maintain
the moisture in the pork. Then we'll place it in a 425 degree oven for about one hour. So here I will
prepare a glaze for the pork using some housing sauce, honey and some red food coloring. You want
to mix everything well to combine and set aside. So now you want to baste the pork every 15 minutes
until the hour is up. So the first 15 minutes I am basting the pork. You want to baste it real well
with that glaze and place it back into the oven. Here I am basting the pork for a second time and I
will place it back into the oven. After 30 minutes I will flip the pork and baste it again, place it
back into the oven. Then I will pull it out after 15 minutes, baste it for a last time and put it back
into the oven. And that should be one hour. So while the pork is going let's prepare a simple
fried rice using some cooked white rice. I have some mixed vegetables. I will be using some scallions,
some eggs, ginger, garlic, onions. I have some housing sauce, sweet soy sauce, regular soy sauce and
some oyster sauce. Here I'll be using some fried rice seasoning and black pepper. Let's get started.
So to my preheated wok I will fry my eggs first. Fry them to your desired texture then remove and
set aside. Now to the same wok I will add some canola oil and some sesame oil. Then we'll follow
up with our aromatics. Give it a good mix and allow to go for about two to three minutes.
Now in with our mixed vegetables. Then we'll add the fried rice seasoning and black pepper. Give it
a stir. Allow those to go for about a minute or two. After which we will follow up with our rice.
You want to give the rice a good toss. Make sure it's well coated in the vegetables before we add
the sauce to add flavor and taste to the rice. Please remember to taste as you go and you can add
sauce to suit your own preference. If you need a little more saltiness you add some more soy sauce.
You need a little more sweetness you add some of the sweet soy sauce and you know you know how to
do your thing to suit your own liking. So once we add the sauces give it a real good toss. Make sure
the rice is well coated and there's no white spots you know left there. And then the last thing we
will add is our eggs and fresh green onions. And that's basically it. Quick easy and simple
but absolutely delicious.
So once your pork is all done you want to allow it to rest for a good 15 to 20 minutes before you
slice into it. You don't want the juices escaping from the pork. You want it to redistribute back
into that pork so it remains juicy and tender. So after my pork was rested I went ahead and just
slice it up into bite sizes. And that's basically it guys. Now we can plate everything up and let
me show you guys the finished product. And here you have it. My version of roast pork or Chinese
barbecue pork and fried rice. When I tell you I truly enjoyed this, this was one of my favorites
when I lived back in Guyana. And I still enjoy it to this day but we don't get it where I live. I
always have to make it myself and I hope you guys give the recipe a try. If you enjoyed the video
