Notes

• I have used a barbeque chicken diced up when I don’t have the right sausages or pork and it still tastes great.
• Lup Cheong is Chinese sausage which must be steamed for 10 minutes before you use it for this recipe.
• I use the light coloured Lup cheong fresh from the Chinese barbeque shop or you can buy a packaged one in the supermarket in the asian food section.
• Char Siu is a red barbequed pork fillet. It’s sweet and moist and usually very lean. You can buy it ready-made from a Chinese BBQ shop or if you don’t have one of these handy, you can make it from scratch using pork fillet and a Char Siu sachet from the asian section of your supermarket.
• Goong Goong is the Cantonese name for grandfather.This recipe was made for me often by my dad.
• This recipe was created by Jennifer Cheung for Kidspot, New Zealand’s best recipe finder.
