 Cách làm món thịt heo quay da giòn - Chinese Style Roast Pork with Crispy Skin

Chinese Style Roast Pork with Crispy Skin (Cách làm món thịt heo quay da giòn)

Ingredients:

  1. A slab of the biggest piece of side-pork you can get your hands on.
  2. white vinegar
  3. salt & pepper
  4. Five spice powder
  5. Garlic & onion powder
(adjust the amount of seasonings according to your taste and the size of your pork)

Preparations:

  • use you normal procedures for cleaning and preparation of the pork
  • take a razor blade and cut deep enough just to penetrate the skin of the pork, this will help the skin from curling up.  (see picture above - around  1/2-1 inch diamond )
  • combine salt, pepper, five spice, garlic & onion powder and rub on the meat  side only.
  • turn meat skin side up and rub with vinegar and salt
  • marinade overnight with adding more vinegar every few hours if needed.
  • you may use an oven or a charcoal grill.  I've done the roast pork both ways and of course I like the  smoky flavor of the charcoal grill much better.
  • for charcoal grill use an indirect heat most of the time and do move it around to crisp up the skin.
  • for extra crispy...you can also put the roast pork skin down on medium heated a pan skin down until desire crispy skin  is reached right before serving.

Asian Roast Duck recipe (Cách làm vịt quay)

Asian Roast Duck (vịt quay)

Asian Roast Duck (Vit Quay)

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole duck
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 5 star anise
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 5 cloves of garlic
  • 1 cup of red wine
  • 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 4 table spoon of ground Korean red chili

Preparation:

  1. In a medium sauce pan bring  2 cup of water into a boil  using medium heat while adding all ingredients and simmer for about  15 minutes and let rest until reaching room temperature.
  2. Take your cleaned duck and put in large plastic bag or zip lock and pour the marinade into the bag and close it tightly.  Refrigerate  at least 24 hours or overnight.
  3. Before roasting make sure to dry the duck and let the duck come to room temperature.
  4. I normally use a charcoal grill with cherry and apple wood chips for the roasting part and only put the heat on one side of the grill, therefore, the duck sits on top of the non-direct heat part of the grill.   Roast for about 3 hours rotating and turning the duck every half hour.
  5. Reduced the marinade down to a thick consistency and brush onto duck during the last hour of roasting.
