Tender-Crisp Char Siu aka BBQ Pork 肉嫩多汁叉烧做法



I've made Char Siu countless times and this is the best so far. Cooked using Ninja Foodi pressure cook + grill functions, easy and fuss-free. The meat is nicely caramelised and slightly charred on the outside, tender and succulent inside. This is a no-turning-back attempt, the end result is much better than oven-roasted and air-fryer Char Siu.





The Ninja Foodi deep pot could prevent oil/ residues splattering all over the crisping lid making it easy to maintain and clean. As you can see from the picture above, the crisping lid is all clean without any food residues after I grilled 2 batches of Char Siu. And, this unit was in heavy usage for 1.5 years. 





Ingredients:
中文食谱:请在网页的右边点击Translate,然后选择中文翻译

1 slab Pork Belly, cut into 4


1 tbsp Sugar 


2 tbsp Oyster Sauce 


1 tsp Garlic Pepper 


3 tbsp Char Siu Sauce 


2 tbsp Shao Xing Hua Tiao Wine 


1/2 tsp Salt 


1 tbsp Tapioca Flour

Method:

1. Combine all ingredients, let marinate overnight in the fridge. 
Tips for better flavour - use a fork, poke some holes all over the meat 




2. Turn on Ninja Foodi, select SAUTE/ SEAR mode. Heat some oil in the pot, sear the pork belly (fat side down). Add in the marinade and 150ml water, switch to PRESSURE COOK (HI) mode, pressure cook for 10mins, quick pressure release. 

The Ninja Foodi multi-cooker that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one pot, it's super-efficient and time-saving. Besides pressure cooking and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, and keep warm, just like a portable kitchen with a rice cooker, pressure cooker, air fryer, oven, and stovetop functions, reasonable price, and highly versatile. 

I've tried different ways of making Char Siu from oven-roasted to stove-top and air-fryer methods, and I find this gives the best result. Pressure cook to tenderize the meat in the shortest time, follow by a quick grill to caramelize and roast the Char Siu without drying out the meat. Conveniently done in one Ninja Foodi pot, it's easy to clean too! 👍🏻 If you're interested to purchase the Ninja Foodi, here's a special deal for our readers:

3. Switch to SAUTE/ SEAR mode, slightly thicken the sauce, set aside. 
Optional: add some Char Siu Sauce to taste. 






4. Transfer the pork belly to the Cook & Crisp Basket, grill 8mins (baste & flip halfway). When it's done, coat with the remaining sauce, slice and serve.

Black Sesame Paste Mixed Nuts Traditional Mooncake 黑芝麻五仁传统广式月饼



Mixed nuts mooncake is my favourite among all the traditional mooncakes since my childhood days. These sweet and savoury mooncakes are filled with crunchy nuts, dried fruits, and the fragrance of Chinese Jin Hua ham 金华火腿. The recipe for making mixed nuts mooncakes is versatile, you can mix and tweak as many types of nuts and dried fruits combinations as you desired. 

For this recipe, I have added some black sesame paste in the fillings to replace the use of oil. This is a guilt-free and healthier alternative to mooncakes that uses oil, lard, and sweetened bean paste fillings. I've shared a traditional mooncake recipe in the previous year, therefore I'd just archive the mooncake fillings in this blog post. 



Mixed Nuts Mooncake Fillings Ingredients:
