Ingredients for half kilo meat


Char siew sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons maltose (alternative : honey)
1 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese rose wine ()
3 dashes white pepper powder
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

2. In a bowl, everything in, except water. Marinade for at least half hour, or one hour is always better if
you have the time. I leave it in the fridge, covered, for 2 hours./overnite

3. Heat up your oven at 200 degrees. You will need to use it later.
5. Pan-sear the ribs lightly This to seal in the meat juices. No need to cook it thoroughly. I just
wants to brown it a little before finishing it in the oven later.
6. Line your baking pan with foil paper, place ribs on it, and straight into the oven for 30 mins or upto
40mins if you want it to looks more charred.
7. While the oven is doing the work. Add water & the remaining marinade sauce into the pan that you
just pan-seared the ribs. (Eyeball it yourself. Just add more sauce if needed.) In a medium
heat, bring it to boil. Stir occasionally until it has thickened. Heat off. Leave the sauce in the pan. No
need to dish up.
9. Once the ribs is out of the oven, put it back to the pan. Under medium heat, mix the sauce with the
ribs evenly. While youre mixing them, the heat is caramelizing the sauce while sticking it to the ribs.
