Make your own bak kwa at home: 6 fun and easy recipes to try this CNY

Everything you need to know about making your own bak kwa from scratch

by Michelle Lee  /   January 28, 2022
ikTok & YouTube Recipes For Homemade Bak Kwa

Irresistibly savoury and juicy with a smokey finish, it’s not quite Chinese New Year without the ubiquitous bak kwa. But it often means long queues at the stores (if you haven’t already ordered yours online), and they’re not exactly cheap either.

But if you have a bit of time on your hands, these scrumptious sheets of barbequed meat aren’t difficult to make, and you can rope in the kids for a fun kitchen project to embark on. Whether to make your own bak kwa for snacking or to gift loved ones, we’ve rounded up some TikTok and Youtube recipes to spark your inspiration.

XO Sauce Bacon Bak Kwa
custom

It’s easier than your regular bak kwa recipe since you can skip the step of having to flatten the minced meat by opting for strips of juicy bacon. Plus, this one gets an extra flavour bomb with the addition of umami and spicy XO sauce.

Pineapple bak kwa
custom

You might have seen pineapple bak kwa sold on the market, but you can make it yourself too. Mix chunks of fresh pineapple with the minced meat to get that zesty sweet-meets-savoury flavour.

Szechuan Mala Beef Bak Kwa
custom

Not a fan of pork or can’t eat pork? Try this spicy tongue-tingling recipe that uses minced beef combined with toasted Sichuan peppercorns.
