For the Char Siu:
- 1 pound pork belly, sliced into thin strips
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, grated
For the Rice:
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Vegetables:
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To make the Char Siu, mix together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, Shaoxing wine, Chinese five-spice powder, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Add the pork belly strips and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the pork belly strips on it. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and caramelized.
To make the rice, rinse the jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
To make the vegetables, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, divide the rice, vegetables, and Char Siu among four plates. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.
