FAQ

How do you tenderise pork for stir fry? Velveting is a Chinese technique that helps keep meat tender during stir frying. Adding cornstarch and bicarb to your meat during the marinating process helps to coat your meat, giving it a velvety feel that makes the meat feel extra soft.

4. Red food colouring – to make the pork red, like you get at the Chinese barbecue shop. This is optional. Authentic Char Siu uses red bean curd for colouring and a touch of flavour – it can be found at Asian stores, use about 2 tbsp of the liquid and no red food colouring.
What to Serve with Chinese BBQ Pork
  • Garlic Noodles or Chow Mein – either sliced and served on top or chopped and tossed together.
  • In fried rice – diced and tossed into the rice over high heat for an amazing flavor!
  • In a banh mi sandwich!
Velveting is a traditional Chinese cooking process that is used to prepare meats for cooking, typically for stir-fries, but the process is also used for blanching and deep-frying. Velveting results in tender and smooth beef even when using lower-quality cuts.
