Instructions

  1. Heat the chicken thighs skin-side down in a dry pan, with no oil, for about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for about 2 minutes, then add the garlic.
  2. Mix the fermented red bean curd, its sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin, soy sauce, dark soy, rice wine, honey, five-spice and white pepper with the water to make the char siu sauce.
  3. Pour the sauce into the pan over the chicken, cover, and cook over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes.
  4. Uncover, raise the heat, and reduce the sauce, spooning it over the chicken, until it is thick, sticky and glossy.
  5. Slice the chicken and serve.
