Instructions

  1. Put 1.5 pounds of ground pork into a bowl.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ⅛ teaspoon of white pepper, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of shaoxing wine and 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce.
  3. Then, mix it well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
  4. While waiting for the meat, prepare a cookie sheet. And, put parchment paper on the cookie sheet.
  5. Next, put the marinated ground pork on the parchment paper over the cookie sheet. Try to shape the meat into a rectangle shape.
  6. After that, lay a plastic wrap over the ground pork, use a roller to roll and flatten out the meat. However, don’t roll too thin. It's around ⅛ inch thick. 
  7. Preheat the oven at 300°F and bake one side for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Drain the fat and liquid after the first 15-20 minutes.
  9. Then, flip the other side and bake for another 15-20 minutes. Drain the liquid and use a paper towel to dry the meat.
  10. The following step, brush honey on one side and broil it for 3-5 minutes. (Put it in the top rack.) After, flip the other side. Brush honey and broil it for 3-5 minutes. (Be careful and watch it because it will burn fast.) 
  11. Lastly, wait for it to cool down, cut them into small pieces. Remove the burn edges. 

Notes

  • Mix the pork and sauce very well and let it marinate for 15 minutes before baking. 
  • Lay flat and use a roller to flatten out the meat. However, don’t roll too thin. It's around ⅛ -1/16 inch thick. 
  • Remember to drain the liquid and dry the meat before brushing honey.
  • Baking time is very important. You have to watch them carefully after you brush honey on top of the bak kwa, so it won't burn.
  • Wait until it cools down, cut them into small pieces. 
  • Remove the sides if it burns.
