The Chinese New Year is just around the bend. And this is the time of the year where Singaporeans cue up one after another just to get some bah kwa in their table. Prices would range from S$45 to S$60. That is quite expensive for this piece of meat. But it's not just meat, its Bah Kwa!
The best way to beat this price is.... making your own bah kwa in your own home. Here is a simple recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
500g minced pork (slightly fatty)
2 Tbs five spice powder
150g sugar (more sugar will caramalise the meat more, but less with be tasteless)
2 Tbs shaoxing wine
1 Tbs fish sauce (this is very important)
3 Tbs light soy sauce
red food colouring – optional, it turns out brownish otherwise. I do not use this
