Homemade Char siew

It has been a while I write anything ....now m a SAHM

So priority is a little bit different and yes m still cooking

And here is something I cook for fun but turn out was good.M sure most of u love char siew.Well one can do it at home without paying exorbitant crazy price in KL ( I fine it very pricey to get just a small little plate of char siew)

Homemade char siew

Recipe & method
1 gula melaka (the one comes in cylinder size)
(a good & pure gula melaka is dark brown color and easily pushed with just using yr thumb)
1 cinnamon stick
2-3 pcs of star anise
Marinade the pork belly (without skin) or chicken breast meat with soya sauce, pepper & huatiao wine or can use mui kwai lo (rose wine) and leave it in the fridge for 4 hrs or overnite
 
Melt the gula melaka, cinnamon & star anise together in the wok in a very low heat. Once melted put in the pork belly and just a bit of water. Leave it to cook and flipping once in a while for 45 min or until d sauce become gluey (also check whether the meat cook or not).

Guess those who has a Thermomix you can just dump everything in and just let it run (I am assuming and I dont have TM)
And those who has pressure cooker use steam/stew mode for 15- 20min (just dump everything in). Turn off the pressure cooker and change to bake mode and keep turning the pork till the sauce thickened
