Quick Chinese BBQ Pork Mince Bowls deliver 413 calories per serving using pork mince fried with char siu sauce, RecipeTin Eats reported.
The recipe was created out of necessity yesterday when a packet of pork mince needed using, according to RecipeTin Eats. JB tested the recipe, and the pair made it 6 times in total to tweak the sauce.
Ingredients include pork mince, garlic, onion, dark hoisin sauce, Chinese five spice powder, dark soy sauce, white pepper, and optional red food colouring. The recipe yields 4 servings, with preparation involving sautéing aromatics, cooking the pork, and caramelising with the sauce on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
RecipeTin Eats specifies using a dark brown hoisin sauce, noting that pale orange varieties like Ayam lack proper flavour and taste like plum sauce. Oyster sauce can substitute for hoisin with an extra 1/4 teaspoon of five spice powder added.
Dark soy sauce provides deep colour and flavour, though all-purpose soy sauce can substitute if doubled in quantity with an added tablespoon of mirin or Chinese cooking wine. Cooked meat stores for 3 to 4 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
