Veggies - sliced potatoes, sliced mixed peppers, whole or sliced mushrooms.

Steps:

  1. Mix char siu, 1-2 tspn olive oil, honey (optional), light soy sauce, dark soy sauce (optional), garlic, pinch of salt and pepper, Chinese five spice (optional), red colouring (optional) into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the pork and marinade in the sauce. Keep in fridge for at least an hour or overnight if you can.
  3. Pour 250ml of water into pot.
  4. Add the lower 2-tier rack into Foodi Max pot and add the veggies in. I used a separate steamer to put veggies in.
  5. Add upper rack. Put sheet of tin foil or tray on and put marinaded pork on top. Foil/tray is to prevent the fatty juice dropping onto the veggies.
  6. PC on HI for 2 mins then QR.
  7. Take out racks, empty out the fatty juice (you can use the juice to make a sauce if you want at the end) and the excess water inside pot.
  8. Spray a bit of olive oil on veggies. Add salt, pepper and herbs on them.
  9. Brush some of the sauce on top of pork. Add a pinch of salt and pepper on top.
  10. Put racks back into pot and AC at 185C for 8 mins.
  11. Turn pork and brush sauce on and add pinch of salt and add pepper.
  12. AC at 185C for another 7-8 mins.
  13. Take out pork and AC veggies for another 2-5 mins at 200C if you want more crispiness while the pork is resting.
  14. Glaze pork by brushing some warm honey on it, slice and enjoy!
