char siu turkey
pimping the leftover turkey w/ char siu marinade for stir fried rice & other
things . .
IngredientsMakes: 350g
| 175g | turkey thigh | ||
| 175g | turkey breast | ||
| 2g | chinese five spice | ||
| 50g | char siu marinade | (recipe below) |
Method
| Use large - half inch / 1.5 cm - pieces of leftover turkey. It doesn't have to be 50 / 50 - thigh / breast use whatever's available. |
| Dust the turkey in five spice so they are evenly coated all over. |
| Pour the marinade over and coat well. |
| Leave this for 30mins or so however long you need to prep other bits. |
| Place the mix into a large pan on a medium heat moving occasionally so the reducing marinade sticks to the turkey pieces as it thickens. Once there's little or no marinade left turn it out onto a chopping board to cool. |
| Slice into bite size pieces & use as required. |
| Quick note: normally char siu is made w/ pork shoulder & left for a day or two to allow the flavour & colour to penetrate into the meat it's then roasted over a tray of water - to minimised smoke production - & sliced. Since here we're reducing the sauce to stick it onto the meat it's less inportant to leave it a long time. |
