School of Wok, wok Wednesdays – doesn’t use a wok. Literally unwatchable
Great video! Love making Char Siu, but can never get it to that reddish color without food coloring. Does the tomato paste give the Char Siu too much of a tomatoey flavor?
Can you use pork loin?
U look like kylie kwong both figuretivly and literally(U is male)
Your Hosin sauce looks so much richer and red compared to the brown stuff I have.
who the hell makes their marinade on a sheet of parchment paper?
the red should come from the fermented tofu (and the corresponding liquid) and thee actual smoking process not tomato paste or food coloring
You didn't talk about 'resting' the meat….
You take too long to get to the point.
Don't like food coloring? Don't use it! Why add tomato paste? If you use different ingredients you change the flavor profile. Leaving out food coloring will change nothing but the look. Gonna taste the same to a blind person.
Tomatopaste is a nice tip. Have to try it. Thanks!
Most outstanding!!!
Love your cooking but the camerawork is by your nan
looks lush , needs to try it ,
hi i love this easy pan dinner i would say and it would be great with pork tenderloin🙏🙏👏👏😋😋😋😋
Good food
Replacing foodcoloring and maltose is a very good idea.
There are other options than tomato paste , but not all are easily available.
If its just about the color, I would use red beets.
I made the most vibrant easter eggs once, with only natural edible colors like red cabage, yellowroot, tea and beets.
I hope the knives you sell are better than the SOW Woks that get sold oh Amazon, forty quid; used/cared for as per instructions and the non-stick coating comes off withing 3 weeks.
No fermented red bean curd?
But, does it taste like tomato??
250 C Grill. Did you mean 250C oven, or was it specifically the broiler thingy?
Char Sui is sour? What? I thought it was supposed to not be mostly sweet, no sour. Red is probably the safest food coloring there is. I heard it came from a certain bug 😂. So people feel free to not use sour tomato paste.
Take a video about this , The world is now ruled by one community of people, the world Satanic elite, you can also call them the committee to meet the Antichrist and prevent the 2nd coming of Jesus, Trump called them the deep state, at the moment it consists of about 10,000 people, the main ones there are Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Windsors, Baruchs, they, their ancestors, descendants and other people who enter there have the mark of Lucifer, which, if they bring the antichrist and do not allow the 2nd coming, they will receive eternal life after the x hour, and the rest of humanity, for all the time that they have lived, they won't get anything, so all people should know about the existence of a world government (Jesus who was a The Prophet of God, not God.God will send Jesus as a reward to humanity, if humanity deserves it, for this it is necessary to fight Lucifer and his elite)
Tomato?!! This looks terrible, sorry. Far too wet as well.
Looks great my friend!
Wow this looks great!
At least you have now learned not to add sugar before roasting lol. Unlike previous char Sui
Tomato paste is both red and "umami" delicious!
Can't wait to make this. YUM!
I use red yeast rice. In the States it can be found at the pharmacy and/or super market in the dietary supplements section. Gives a beautiful red color and is harmless.
I finished watching the video three minutes ago and I am now putting the marinade together for the bit of pork I bought for my old recipe for char siu…talk about serendipitous good fortune!
👍 thanks again!! 🙂
downvote for not including superior freedom units 🇺🇸🖕🥓💵🦅🇺🇲😆
Looks delicious definitely trying this! ❤
This looks mouthwateringly delicious!
I think using tomato paste is a great alternative to red bean paste/tofu since it is more accessible in U.S. supermarkets. I have everything in my pantry to make this recipe! Thank you!
I've tried to make a Char Sui for my wife's family and I asked around chinatown and one guy said to me the red comes from Red fermented bean curd. I found it and used it but it almost seemed like it was the original Char Sui because my wife's dad said oh, this is very earthy like I remember when I was a kid.
The link goes to a beef dumplings recipe!!
Looks amazing! 😋
Why aren't you using the red fermented tofu, colored by red yeast rice? No artificial food coloring needed and proper traditional flavor
Awesome ❤
Doesn't seem it's 6 years since I first seen this 😅 ❤ on your channel.
