The Main Ingredients
The Pork
The star of this recipe is, of course, the pork. BBQ pork (also known as char siu) is a staple in Chinese cuisine, and for good reason. It is tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. When it comes to choosing the right cut of pork for this recipe, you can either use pork loin or pork shoulder. Both cuts work well, but pork loin tends to be leaner and more tender, while pork shoulder has more fat and is more flavorful. Be sure to choose a high-quality, gluten-free pork, and ask your butcher to trim off any excess fat.
The Marinade
The key to making mouth-watering BBQ pork is the marinade. Traditional Chinese BBQ pork marinade contains soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, and various Chinese spices. However, these ingredients often contain gluten. In this recipe, we have substituted the soy sauce with gluten-free tamari sauce, and the hoisin sauce with gluten-free hoisin sauce. These substitutes have the same rich and savory flavors without the gluten. Honey is naturally gluten-free, but be sure to check the label to ensure it is not processed in a facility that also processes gluten-containing products.
The Cooking Process
Marinating the Pork
Once you have gathered all the ingredients, the first step is to marinate the pork. It is recommended to marinate the pork for at least 2 hours, but overnight is even better. This allows the pork to absorb all the flavors and become tender. Be sure to reserve some of the marinade for basting during the cooking process.
Cooking the Pork
There are two ways to cook the pork – grilling or roasting. If you are using a grill, heat it to medium-high heat and grill the pork for about 15-20 minutes, turning and basting every 5 minutes. If you are using an oven, preheat it to 375°F and roast the pork for 20-25 minutes, basting every 10 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, switch the oven to broil to get a nice caramelized crust on the pork. Once the pork is cooked through and has a nice glaze, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
The Final Result
After following these steps, you will have a delicious and gluten-free Chinese BBQ pork that is sure to impress. Serve it with steamed rice and some stir-fried vegetables for a complete Chinese meal. You can also use this pork in other Chinese dishes, such as fried rice or noodle dishes. So, don't let a gluten-free diet hold you back from enjoying your favorite Chinese dishes. Give this recipe a try and satisfy your cravings for Chinese BBQ pork!
