I found the char sui pork recipe on the Tesco Real Food website when searching for a new recipe for pork belly slices.
Once the pork has been marinaded overnight, the end result is a delicious, rich and sticky Chinese glaze...the flavours infuse and then cooking is pretty quick. A great dish to make when preparing a Chinese feast, or enjoy with boiled rice and greens. I decided to use the remaining marinade to serve with the pork, rather than discarding it - I've added an extra instruction to simmer it while the pork is grilling.
Tip
- This char sui pork recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.

Spanish
At the heart of Spanish cooking are iconic dishes like paella, a flavourful rice dish often made with seafood, chicken, or rabbit, and tapas, small plates of appetisers that showcase a variety of tastes and textures, from patatas bravas (fried potatoes with spicy tomato sauce) to gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp). You'll find all of these and more in this delicious selection of Spanish recipes!!
