Use a fork to poke the side of the belly. Marinate the pork belly overnight or at least 4 hours.

Use bake mode, bring 500ml of water to a boil. Add the Gula Melaka to the boil water till dissolve. Next, add marinated pork belly with the sauce to the pot. Switch to Steam mode and KPT 20mins. Manual release pressure. Remove the pork belly and let it cool before slicing. With lid open, use Sear/Sauté or Bake mode to cook the sauce further will thicken. Serve the Char Siew w sauce.

Adjust the Steam mode KPT according to individual preference..shorter for firmer texture and longer for more tender texture.

My second time to try out Char Siu, this time with Char Siu sauce... (BTW, the picture shown is the Char Siu sauce, correct? 😁)

It's a successful one, love the taste, especially the thick "char siu" sauce after "char". 😍

Marinate 500g pork belly without skin (over nigh) :
Shao Xin wine 1 tbsp
Light soy sauce 1 tbsp
Dark soy sauce 1 tbsp
Oyster sauce 1 tbsp
Brown sugar 1 tbsp
Char Siu sauce 2 tbsp

The next day, cook with "Steam / Stew" mode 20 min, wait for auto pressure release.
Open lid, change to "Bake" mode, then add 2 tbsp honey, and "char" 3 minutes for each side, till 15 minutes or until the sauce become thick as preferred. Char without closing the lid.

Happy "Char" time, everyone. 😉
