Easy but Tasty, Boiled Pork 'Char Siu' |
If you are ramen lovers or char siu lovers, why not try this recipe? Even if not, anyway try it! You must be surprised how tender the meat is. It is not only tasty but also useful: thin slices are used as toppings on ramen and thick slices as starters. Furthermore, after boiling the meat, the stock can be used as soup for ramen.
I made 2 blocks today, and to whom they go?

Remove the cooked meat from the pot and put it into the sauce in the pan and leave it for 1 hour. If the sauce is not enough to cover the meat, pour the sauce over it with a spoon at times. |  |

Remove the meat from the sauce and slice it thinly. It can be used as a topping on ramen or served with sliced spring onions and the sauce like salad. It is much tastier if served warm. | |
Tips
*1 “with green parts of spring onion and ginger”
Even if the meat is boiled without these vegetables, it is still tasty, so never mind. In this recipe, the meat is boiled without salt, which prevents the meat from being tough. Salt has the property of solidifying protein.
*2 “15cc of soy sauce”
A small portion of soy sauce can rid the meat of its smell. Soy sauce has the property of disguising the smell of meat.
