Chopping Chinese-style Barbecued pork is an art!

Chinese-style Barbecued Pork!
Chinese-style Barbecued Pork!
Ever noticed how at Chinese Butchers, once you choose your meat and give the “okay”, the butcher gets a huge cleaver and starts hacking away at your meat. A few stray pieces fly into the air and you sometimes wonder about fingers being chopped off when the butcher turns his head away but still continues to hack at your meat, and then somehow miraculously in the end your meat has been transformed into beautifully cut thin slices? How do they do this? They must either have extremely razor sharp cleavers combined with millions of years of experience (which is just slightly improbable) or were just b-o-r-n to chop meat; because in reality, if you were to say, attempt to “try it at home” (the hacking while not looking that is), your end result looks somewhat ‘different’. Cutting meat with a cleaver at 200chops/minute really is an art!


So why all this chopping talk? Well, well! It’s because if you have ever been inspired to chop meat like the Great Butchers of our time, then you probably wondered how this meat they were chopping came into being in all its red brightness. The answer is colouring! There’s no nice way to put it for all you anti-colouring/anti-additives people out there, because the only way you will get your Chinese-style barbecued pork to look like the one in the butchers is to add the red colouring! “But I can live without the colouring!” you say. Its true! You probably could. But why restrict yourself? Don’t you want your food to look like it has been created by the experts? Of course you do! So why not try barbecueing your own meat and hacking at it today!

Ingredients: 300g pork fillet(s), 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp plum sauce, 1 tbsp ginger wine, red colouring, 1 tbsp honey, salt and pepper

Remove the pork fillets from the grill and glaze it with the honey while the meat is still hot. Slice and serve.
