Instructions
- Put 1.5 pounds of ground pork into a bowl.
- 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.
- Then, mix it well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- While waiting for the meat, prepare a cookie sheet. And, put parchment paper on the cookie sheet.
- Next, put the marinated ground pork on the parchment paper over the cookie sheet. Try to shape the meat into a rectangle shape.
- 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.
- Preheat the oven at 300°F and bake one side for 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the fat and liquid after the first 15-20 minutes.
- Then, flip the other side and bake for another 15-20 minutes. Drain the liquid and use a paper towel to dry the meat.
- 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.)
- 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.
