About Cha siu
Cha Siu is a popular Cantonese-style dish featuring pork, typically shoulder or belly, marinated in a savory and sweet mixture of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, five-spice powder, and fermented bean paste. This reddish, caramelized barbecue pork is roasted to perfection, delivering tender meat with a smoky, slightly charred exterior. Originating from Guangdong province in China, it's a staple in Chinese cuisine and often served alongside rice or noodles. Nutritionally, Cha Siu is a rich source of protein, but its preparation can be high in sodium, sugar, and fat due to the marinade and fatty cuts of pork used. Moderation is key for those mindful of calorie intake or heart health. Opting for leaner pork cuts can make it a healthier choice while retaining its iconic flavor profile. Despite its indulgent nature, it’s loved globally for its bold taste and cultural authenticity.
