Introduction
Learn how to make juicy, tender Chashu using just a microwave that rivals store-bought quality, a hearty Chashu Egg Rice Bowl, and a recipe for quick-cured Pancetta using leftover pork.
Step 1
【Microwave Chashu】Poke the pork loin block thoroughly on both sides with a meat tenderizer (or a fork) and score the connective tissue.
Step 2
【Microwave Chashu】Place the scored meat into a heat-resistant container and add the minced garlic (5g) and minced ginger (5g).
Step 3
【Microwave Chashu】Add liquid shio koji (1.5 tablespoons) and rub it well into the meat.
Step 4
【Microwave Chashu】Add sugar (1.5 tablespoons), soy sauce (2.5 tablespoons), Haimi (6 dashes), and sake (1 teaspoon), ensuring the seasonings coat the meat evenly. Marinate for 5-10 minutes if possible.
Step 5
【Microwave Chashu】Cover the container with a lid (or loose plastic wrap) and microwave at 600W for 5 minutes.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Using liquid shio koji ensures the meat becomes incredibly tender and moist, even when cooked in the microwave.
⚠️ When making Chashu in the microwave, use a heat-resistant container that fits the meat snugly so it stays submerged in the marinade. If the container is too large, the sauce will spread too thin and won't flavor the meat properly.
⚠️ To make the quick Pancetta, you must leave it in the refrigerator without plastic wrap to draw out the moisture. Ensure you rub the salt in thoroughly to improve shelf life.
