]]> In China, pork jerky, known as bak kwa, has become a wildly popular snack during the Lunar New Year. Still, even if you don’t celebrate this occasion, pork jerky can prove to be a delicious snack that lights up any occasion. Here is your guide to cooking up a scrumptious Chinese BBQ Pork Jerky.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions:

  1. Aside from the honey and water, combine the rest of the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Paddle the meat on medium for about 1 minute, until it appears to be a paste. You can also mix it by hand until you achieve the same result.
  2. Place the meat in a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap with holes poked in it. Allow to marinate in the fridge overnight.
  3. Preheat your oven to 250°F. In a baking tray, spread the meat until it forms a rectangular layer. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and drain any liquid before transferring to a cutting board.
  5. Flip the jerky and return to the oven to bake the other side.
  6. Place the jerky on the cutting board and cut into squares.
  7. Make a glaze by whisking the honey and water together. Baste the glaze over the jerky and cook it in the oven for 3-4 minutes. Flip it over and cook the other side.

]]> Most of the world celebrated New Year on January 1st, but Asian communities are now getting their opportunity to do so with Lunar New Year. January 22 marks the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit, and not only is it a time for family and friends, it is also a chance to indulge in delicious food!

Whole Fish with Ginger and Scallion Oil

It is common to eat a whole fish at new year because the Chinese word for fish (yu) sounds similar to that for “abundance”. While catfish is the most traditional, the dish can also be made using sea bass or carp. Steam the fish and drizzle it with hot oil made with ginger, scallions, coriander, and soy sauce.

Dumplings

Not only are dumplings delicious, but they also represent wealth and longevity, making them an important food for this time of the year. Fill your dumplings with anything from pork to chicken, prawn, mushrooms, scallions, and cabbage. Then, steam or fry.

Longevity Noodles

As the name suggests, these noodles, known as Yi Mein, symbolize longevity. According to Chinese tradition, the longer the noodle, the luckier you’ll be, with some measuring as long as two feet! Stir-fry the noodles with chicken, mushrooms, green beans, and ginger.
