Chinese BBQ Pork Preparation

BBQ Pork:

Tenderize the pork by piercing the entire surface, top and bottom, repeatedly with a fork.

Rub the minced garlic and shallot all over the meat; set aside.

BBQ Pork Caramel Sauce:

Cook together remaining ingredients, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens; set aside to let cool.

Note: To prevent sauce from sticking or burning, you may wish to cook in a double boiler on medium-low heat.

BBQ Pork:

Marinade pork in 1/2 to 2/3 of the prepared caramel sauce for at least 20 minutes (preferably overnight).

Pan-fry marinated meat over medium-high heat until both sides are nicely browned. Cover and let it cook on medium-low heat for an additional 20-30 minutes.

Baste some glaze over the meat 5 minutes before finish time.

Pour the remaining caramel sauce over the meat after cutting it into serving size.

I didn't have any shallots so I just minced an entire green onion instead. Worked great.
I didn't have time to go by an Asian market to look for maltose so I just used sugar instead, which worked fine, though it may be a bit sweeter (honey is normally a better substitute).
With mine I used about a teaspoon or so of sesame oil, a generous sprinkle of the pepper and a light dusting of salt...
Also, I used sake wine.

I only marinated for 20 minutes, then used the pork in Singapore Mai-Fun. Even through that curry/ginger sauce I could still taste the wonderful flavor.

Because of the dish I was creating this for, I chopped the pork into chunks before preparing (after forking) so this cut down on the cooking time, too. [I posted this recipe.]
