Char Siu - Chinese BBQ Pork หมูแดง

2 lb pork shoulder roast

2 Tbsp soy sauce

2 Tbsp hoisin sauce

red bean curd + 1 Tbsp liquid

1 Tbsp five spice powder

2 Tbsp honey

2 Tbsp Chinese cooking wine, optional

white pepper

1 tsp sesame oil, optional

2 cloves garlic, finely grated or mashed

2-3 tsp red bean curd liquid

Cut the pork roast, along the direction of the meat&#8217;s grain, into long strips no larger than 2-inch thick. You can trim off big chunks of fat but don&#8217;t trim off too much.

In a small mixing bowl, mash the red bean curd until there are no more big chunks. Add all remaining ingredients (except for the glaze ingredients) and whisk until combined.

Pour the marinade over the pork and make sure all pieces are coated. Marinate in the fridge for 24-48 hours (do not do less than this!), turning the pork half way through to ensure even distribution of marinade.

When ready to roast, preheat the oven at 375°F/190°C convection (if your oven has a fan) or 400°F/200°C regular (no fan).

Line a baking sheet with foil then put a roasting rack on it. Place the pork on the rack. Roast for 15 minutes.

While the pork is roasting, combine the honey and the red bean curd liquid (or cooked leftover marinade) to make the glaze.

Remove the pork after 15 minutes, brush the glaze on it (don&#8217;t worry about the bottom side), then put it back for another 5-7 minutes or until the glaze has dried onto the pork.

Remove the pork and glaze again, then put it back in the oven for another 5-7 minutes.

Glaze the pork again (you should glaze a total of 3 times), then roast until the pork is done. If using a thermometer, the internal temp should reach 155°F before removing from the oven.

If the pork has not browned or charred to your liking at this point, you can switch the oven to &#8220;broil&#8221; and broil the pork on the top rack, with the oven door open, for a few minutes to get some charring.

Let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and eating. Enjoy!

Char siu, or Chinese BBQ Pork, is a delicious Cantonese roast meat. Make authentic Chinatown char siu at home with our restaurant-quality recipe!

Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork)

pork shoulder/pork butt ((select a piece with some good fat on it))

white sugar

salt

½ teaspoon five spice powder

sesame oil

Shaoxing rice wine

soy sauce

hoisin sauce

molasses

red food coloring ((optional))

garlic

water

Cut the pork into long strips or chunks about 3 inches thick. Don’t trim any excess fat, as it will render off and add flavor.

Combine the sugar, salt, five spice powder, white pepper, sesame oil, wine, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, molasses, food coloring (if using), and garlic in a bowl to make the marinade (i.e. the BBQ sauce).

Reserve about 2 tablespoons of marinade and set it aside. Rub the pork with the rest of the marinade in a large bowl or baking dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours. Cover and store the reserved marinade in the fridge as well.

Preheat your oven to the highest setting (475-550 degrees F or 250-290 degrees C) with a rack positioned in the upper third of the oven. It&#039;s amazing how oven temperatures vary so be sure to check your char siu after the first few minutes of roasting and adjust your oven temperature accordingly.

Line a sheet pan with foil and place a metal rack on top. Using the metal rack keeps the pork off of the pan and allows it to roast more evenly, like it does in commercial ovens described above. Place the pork on the rack, leaving as much space as possible between pieces. Pour 1 ½ cups water into the pan below the rack. This prevents any drippings from burning or smoking.

Transfer the pork to your preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, flip the pork. If the bottom of the pan is dry, add another cup of water. Turn the pan 180 degrees to ensure even roasting. Roast another 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the reserved marinade with the maltose or honey (maltose is very viscous––you can heat it up in the microwave to make it easier to work with) and 1 tablespoon hot water. This will be the sauce you’ll use for basting the pork.

After 40 minutes of total roasting time, baste the pork, flip it, and baste the other side as well. Roast for a final 10 minutes.

By now, the pork has cooked for 50 minutes total. It should be cooked through and caramelized on top. If it’s not caramelized to your liking, you can turn the broiler on for a couple minutes to crisp the outside and add some color/flavor. Be sure not to walk away during this process, since the sweet char siu BBQ sauce can burn if left unattended. https://thewoksoflife.com/how-to/chinese-cooking-tools/#meat-thermometer

Remove from the oven and baste with the last bit of reserved BBQ sauce. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing, and enjoy!

Char Siu recipe- How to make it as good as Chinese restaurant

Char Siu doesn't refer to a sauce particularly, but the final product after this "Chinese barbecue sauce" is applied to pork that is hung onto fork skewers and roasted. Still, there's a fairly common base set of ingredients including hoisin, honey, soy sauce, sherry, Chinese five spice powder that imparts the ubiquitous flavor and glossy sheen to Char Siu.

Char Siu Sauce Recipe | Sauced

dry sherry

Chinese five spice powder

In a small bowl, mix together Hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, sherry, and five spice powder.

Learn how to make the perfect, juicy, tender char siu, a classic Cantonese favorite!

Char Siu (叉燒) - Chinese BBQ Pork

lb pork shoulder

tbsp garlic salt

tbsp brown sugar

tbsp oyster sauce

tbsp light soy sauce

tbsp red wine

tbsp Shaoxing wine

bean curd

tsp five spice powder

tbsp honey

0.25 tsp red food coloring

Prepare & poke meat

We'll cut our pork shoulder into long slices, roughly about 1 inch thick. 

Prepare marinade

Marinate pork

Place the meat into a ziploc bag, pour the sauce in, and massage the pork for about 2 minutes so that the sauce is able to finesse its way into the meat. Afterwards, we’ll push all the air out of the bag and seal it. 

Prepare char siu for oven

Repeat several cycles of cooking and basting char siu

Now, we’ll be placing the pork into the oven and taking it out periodically to lather it again with either our leftover pork marinade, or honey diluted with water. 

Final touches, let cool, cut & enjoy!

Once the char siu has finished its last cycle in the oven, we'll lather each side with our diluted honey.

Flavourful marinated pork with a sweet-salty glaze, roasted to perfection. It's a classic Chinese BBQ that can be served with rice or noodles. (Prep time above doesn't include 24-48 hr marinating time.)

Cut the pork roast, along the direction of the meat's grain, into long strips no larger than 2-inch thick. You can trim off big chunks of fat but don't trim off too much.

Remove the pork after 15 minutes, brush the glaze on it (don't worry about the bottom side), then put it back for another 5-7 minutes or until the glaze has dried onto the pork.

If the pork has not browned or charred to your liking at this point, you can switch the oven to "broil" and broil the pork on the top rack, with the oven door open, for a few minutes to get some charring.

Let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and eating. Enjoy!
