Chinese BBQ pork, is a type of roasted pork originating from Cantonese cuisine. Traditionally, the marinated pork is skewered with long forks and roasted in an oven or over an open fire. Char Siu may look like a sophisticated dish to cook. It actually involves very simple procedures. Once you’ve got all the ingredients in hand, what you need to do is simply follow the temperature and timing instructions. Mix all the ingredients for the marinade.

Marinate the pork overnight in the fridge. Roast the meat on a wire rack in the oven. Take out about halfway to flip over and brush more marinade. Towards the end, brush the honey mixture then roast under higher temperature for a short while to produce a nice glaze.

For my recipe, I use pork shoulder steaks which are boneless and thin. It takes less time to cook than chunkier pieces. Also, I find that the marinade penetrates more easily thus the cooked Char Siu becomes tastier. Char Siu sauce is a key ingredient. Oyster sauce adds a hint of seafood umami taste.
