Post & Recipe in English and Chinese (中英食谱)
“One of the best festive gifts, BBQ sliced pork made into gold coin shape. Tasty and symbolizing.”
“新年佳节送礼首选的金钱肉干，美味，容易入口，也寓意着金钱入口（袋）。”
Home baked products are usually better in quality, and most importantly, it goes easier on your wallet. Free from MSG, preservative, and artificial flavor & coloring. You can even make different flavors and shapes.
My main trick to produce tender sliced pork is to add some pineapple jam into the marination. Yes, we do not need meat tenderizer here. Let the enzyme in the pineapple do the job for us.
Make it better, eat homemade quality, I used abalone…. sauce, for a premium produce. :)
家里做的没有味精，防腐剂和人造香料和着色。品质通常更好，你甚至可以做出不同的风味和形状。重要的是，自己做的比买的更加负担的起。
我最佳的制作巧妙就是在腌制中添加一些凤梨酱。里头的凤梨酵素能让肉干口感变得更加细腻柔软。
要吃就吃豪点！自己做的就是不一样，我也加了鲍鱼……浓汁。味道真的超棒哦！

A piece of BBQ gold coin Bak Kwa counts about 60kcal.

Tips: Freshly baked Bak Kwa can last about 1-week.
* Mirin can be replaced with Chinese Hua Diao Wine. I personally prefer Mirin for its slight sweetness.
* Flatten the minced pork as thin as possible as it will shrink and raise in its thickness after baked.
* Add chili oil for spicy flavor.
* To make normal squarish slices, simply spread a thin layer of the minced meat over baking tray.
* Bak Kwa can be toasted on charcoal, too.
温馨小贴士：新鲜出炉的肉干可以持续约1周。
*米林可以用中国花雕酒代替。我个人比较喜欢米林的甜美。
*压扁猪末，铺得越薄越好，因为肉干烤后会收缩变厚。
*添加辛辣味辣椒油。
*要制作普通四方肉干，把肉末铺平在烤盘便可以。
*肉干也可以用火炭炉烧烤。
