Abby, DH and I finished everything in two days. Ian was not keen in trying - not yet :)
After all, this snack is too irresistible to say no to LOL
Worried too much I would get thick bak kwa, I got too thin ones LOL
Recipe is from Sonia from Nasi Lemak Lover
What you need:
450g minced pork (at least with 10% fat)
100g sugar
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tbsp Chinese rice wine
1/2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp dark caramel soy sauce
1/8 tsp Chinese five spices powder
a dash of pepper
3/4 tsp salt or to taste
2 tbsp honey
Method:
- Put all ingredients in a big bowl and start mixing them with a pair of chopsticks. Blend and stir the mixture in one direction until the meat becomes gluey so the meat will not break out). Keep in the fridge for several hours (I kept overnight)
- Spread the marinated minced pork thinly onto the baking tray (using fingers to spread)
- Bake at pre-heated oven at 160degC for 15mins. Remove from oven. Increase the oven temperature to 240cdegC
- Wait to slightly cool, cut into squares scissor, place them in the same baking tray
- Grill (top heat only) one side at 240degC for 10mins (mine was about 5mins - I guess it's because mine is thinner), remove from oven, flip over another side, wait oven back to 240degC and grill until golden brown with slight burnt
- Remove from oven and transfer to serving plate
