Implementation Steps
01
Prepare the ingredients
First, put the pork in a small basin with 1/2 tablespoon salt, 20 g ginger and 1 tablespoon white rice wine, and rub the ginger into the meat to add fragrance and remove any odour. Pour in warm water to barely cover and soak for 10 minutes. Then lift out the pork and rinse in clean water. For the salted duck eggs, crack them and rinse the yolks in clean water. Put the yolks in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon white rice wine and mix so they absorb the wine. Next, pour off the excess wine and add 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil to give the yolks shine and fragrance.

Stuff the char siu
Take a small knife and place the pork on a chopping board. Line up the knife with one end of the piece of meat and push it deep through the middle until it comes out the other end. Once you've made a deep pocket in the meat, insert the salted egg yolks and secure both ends with toothpicks.

Sear and braise the char siu
Heat a pan and, when hot, add the marinated pork along with its marinade. Turn the meat until it firms up, then add 500 ml fresh coconut water for a gentle sweetness and cover.
Keep turning the meat so it browns on both sides, and cook over medium heat until the coconut water has reduced to a thick glaze, then turn off the heat.
