🇨🇳 China recipe
Char Siu (BBQ Pork)
Cantonese-style barbecue pork with a glossy, caramelized exterior and tender, juicy interior. Strips of pork shoulder are marinated overnight in a sweet and savoury mixture of hoisin sauce, honey, five-spice, and fermented red bean curd, then roasted at high heat with repeated glazing until the edges char and the surface glistens.
