Char Siu (Chinese Sweet Barbecued Pork) image

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.

Categories     Pork

Time 4h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb pork (I use boneless chops)
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon wine
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
red food coloring

Steps:

  • Trim the fat from the pork and cut into chunks; each chunk should be between 2-4 bites.
  • Blend all remaining ingredients.
  • The pork and marinade should be fairly bright red- add enough food coloring to give it a nice color.
  • Marinate for at least 3 and preferable 24 hours.
  • Broil or grill for 3-4 minutes on a side or until the pork is done through.
