Introduction
This surprisingly tender and juicy chicken thigh char siu is easy to make using a microwave. By marinating it in the sauce overnight, the flavors soak deep into the meat, and you'll get delicious soy-marinated eggs at the same time.
Step 1
Lay out the chicken thigh (300g) and carefully remove excess skin, fat, and tendons.
Step 2
Make incisions in the thick parts of the meat to open it up, making the thickness uniform.
Step 3
Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper (to taste) on both sides.
Step 4
Roll the chicken up tightly from the end, ensuring no air is trapped inside.
Step 5
Secure the seam in several places with toothpicks.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
When rolling the chicken, roll it tightly from one end to ensure a beautiful shape. 💡
Using cling wrap to touch the surface during heating helps the sauce coat the meat evenly even in small amounts and prevents the meat from drying out. ⚠️
When warming the zip-top bag in hot water, turn off the heat and place a heat-resistant plate at the bottom of the pot first to prevent the bag from touching the hot bottom and melting. 🍳
