Char siu, or glazed pork, is a classic dish from East Asian cuisine. It is typically eaten cold as a snack, with rice or noodles, or as a filling for steamed buns. Choose a shoulder with a bit of fat for a more tender meat.

Directions

  1. Cut the meat into thick strips, about 3 cm wide: they will maintain their shape during cooking. ≈ 8 min
  2. Use a fork to pierce the meat, which will help to tenderize it and allow the marinade to penetrate more effectively.
  3. In a bowl, combine the dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, honey, hoisin sauce, and the five spices. ≈ 4 min
  4. Completely coat the pork strips with this marinade.
  5. Make sure to cover it well and let it marinate in the refrigerator for several hours, ideally overnight.
  6. Preheat the oven to 230 °C and line a baking dish with aluminum foil.
  7. If possible, hang the meat to cool; otherwise, place it in the dish without overlapping the pieces. ≈ 3 min
  8. Roast for 20 minutes, basting with the marinade at least twice to create a caramelized crust. The meat will take on a beautiful reddish hue.
  9. Allow the meat to cool, either hanging or on a rack, then serve.
