This is actually mock char siew flavoured with red yeast rice residum, nam yee and sweetened with gula melaka. Very different from the normal store bought vegetarian char siew which I think uses some red colouring.

Ingredients

• 300 gm wet gluten balls (mee keen, tear or cut strips)
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 30 gm gula melaka
• some toasted sesame seeds
• Marinade
• 1 tbsp red yeast rice residum (ang chow)
• 1 piece red fermented beancurd (nam yee)
• 1/2 tsp 5 spice powder
• 1/4 tsp pepper and vegetarian msg
• salt to taste
