Chinese Crispy Roast Pork (Siew Yoke) 脆皮燒肉

Crispy Roast Pork (Siew Yoke)   脆皮 (南乳) 燒肉

Normally during Chinese festival, especially Chinese New Year, roast pork is one of the very high demand item.

The price sometimes can go up-to 30%. Also, for some famous and nice-to-eat roast pork sellers, no booking in advance, no pork for you or very long queue. Due to high demand, large orders, they have to roast the pork many hours in advance, by the time you eat the pork (worst case for reunion dinner), it will become less crispy or not crispy at all.

So I decided to learn the roasting process. Sometimes I will choose this dish for potluck gathering, you will enjoy this very much with your favorite white wine.


You may add fermented red bean curd (nam yue 南乳), five-spice powder (五香粉) or lime juice for different taste. If you prefer more English style, you may add English mustard.
For today, I have added fermented red bean curd, five-spice powder and white pepper powder.
