Happycall BBQ Pork Slice 肉干



Yield:  About 12 slices of 7~8 cm 肉干

Ingredients:

2 sheets 51x38cm parchment papers
270g minced pork (= a tray of minced pork from supermart)
70g raw sugar
8g honey
16g low salt fish sauce
12g rose wine or rice wine
1/8 tsp dark soya sauce (for adding colour)

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together and keep in the fridge for about 4 hours.

4. Place another parchment paper over the minced pork. Press to make 3 flat thin meat patties. Repeat till you finish all the marinated minced pork.

5. Sun dry the meat patties under the sun for about 2 hours. Best done on a windy day. This is to reduce the moisture content of the minced pork. It also helps to give the pork the rose red colour when grilling.
This step is optional. You can go straight to cooking omitting this step.

6. Pre-heat the HCP to medium low heat. Place the minced pork together with the parchment paper into the pan. Lock the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. When the meat patties is cooked, use a tongs to help you flip them over to cook the other sides. When the meat patties are cooked, transfer them to a plate.  As by end of the cooking, the sugar tends to turn black and bitter. To avoid the end product from becoming bitter, it is advisable to grill on a fresh piece of parchment paper.
Due to the high sugar content of the meat patties, the meat patties easily get charred. Observe the heat closely and flip the meat patties regularly.
Always cook on the parchment paper and avoid the syrup from flowing to the pan, if you want easy washing.
