[@karminiparsan9256]

Excellent 👌👌👌

[@DC-vw7yf]

Sir, if i wanted to bake the pork, what temperature and time please?

[@laurapatrick4405]

What suggestion can u make if u dont have a steamer?

[@greenpenncil]

If ur in Trini go to IAM. They also sell the long time hand one that u put down into a pot with a little water. Maybe less than $100 for it. It kinda opens out like flower petals. Fair & Square (chaguanas) should sell them also. That's what I have, and I used someone else's recipe and it came out wonderfully. I used boneless chicken thighs and the exact shortcut way he cooked the pork. It was time consuming as it was my first time, but very relaxing. Hope this helps 😊

The way you make the Char Siu was totally wrong. We don't pan fry Char Siu.

Try and listen along with watching, he was clear on why he did a short cut of his version.
