Directions
Char Siu (Chinese Sweet Barbecued Pork), This is a traditional Chinese recipe for pork – the pork is very flavorful and fairly sweet. I had never heard of this until my first trip to Hawaii; now I know what I was missing. I’m posting a companion recipe for this (Cha Siu Bao – barbecued pork buns) in a few days. Prep time includes marinating time., I was pleased with how this recipe came out. used Country Style Ribs, trimmed them well and cut them into chunks. I also broiled them in the oven and they came out great. The only problem with this recipe is that it did not seem sweet enough to me, so next time I think I will add brown sugar to the marinade., Really nice char siu recipe. I’ve made this several times now, and it seems like it’s always an impulse item (i.e., I’ve got a pork chop in the freezer and nothing for dinner, which is in two hours), so I’ve never given it a long marinating time and it still comes out good (can’t wait to see what the 24-hour version is like). I have xiaoshing wine in my pantry so use that. Also, I cook on a gas grill, indirect medium heat, with a small pan of water directly under the meat (I had an old oven recipe for char siu that did this and it seemed to work well). I might even try indirect low heat for this this some time and see how that comes out. You definitely don’t want high direct heat though.
