Instructions

Char Siew Pork

Step 1

Slice the pork neck lengthways to form 3 long pieces.

Step 2

Place all ingredients except the pork into a large bowl and mix until well combined.

Step 3

Place the pork and the marinade in a ziplock bag. Seal and shake well until the pork is evenly coated. Set aside to marinate in the fridge overnight.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.

Step 5

Line a roasting tray with foil. Place a rack on top. Remove the pork pieces from the marinade and place onto the rack. Pour water into the bottom of the roasting tin (ensure the water level is below the pork). The water and the foil will help to stop the sweet marinade from burning on your roasting tray. Cook in preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 6

In the meantime, pour the marinade out of the ziplock bag and into a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened slightly. Remove from heat and divide the mixture between 2 bowls. One half will be for basting and the other can be used as a serving sauce.

Step 7

Remove the pork from the oven. Baste both sides of the pork with the thickened marinade. Place back into the oven to cook for another 20 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from the oven, add another layer of basting sauce and rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Garlic Oil

Step 8

For the garlic oil, heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes or until the garlic is golden. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to a plate lined with paper towel. Set aside. Reserve the oil.

Step 9

For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small jug and stir to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.

Step 10

Cook the noodles in a large saucepan of boiling water for 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.

Step 11

Meanwhile, place the choy sum in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water. Set aside for 4 minutes to blanch. Drain.

Step 12

Heat the reserved garlic oil in a wok over high heat. Add the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes or until reduced slightly. Add the noodles and use tongs to toss to combine. Transfer among bowls.

Step 13

Add the choy sum to the bowls and top with char siu and a dollop of sambal oelek. Sprinkle with spring onions and serve with wonton soup if desired
