10. Grill for a further 10 minutes and baste again with all the marinade that is left. 
11. Grill for another 10 minutes. The edges of the char siew should be slightly charred
12.  The sauce collected at the bottom of the baking tray can be used to pour over the chopped char siew 

Note :  Test the sauce first before using because sometimes when over-heated the sauce becomes bitter. It should be sweet
