About Char siew
Char Siew, a signature dish in Cantonese cuisine, is a savory-sweet roasted pork that’s widely enjoyed across Asia and beyond. The name "Char Siew" translates to "fork roast," referring to the traditional preparation method. Typically made from fatty cuts like pork shoulder or belly, it is marinated in a flavorful blend of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, five-spice powder, and sometimes red food coloring for its characteristic crimson hue. The pork is roasted until caramelized, with a delectable charred exterior and tender, juicy inside. While Char Siew is rich in protein, its glaze contains added sugars, making it high in sodium and calories. Moderation is key to enjoying this dish as part of a balanced diet. Incorporating leaner cuts of pork or pairing it with fiber-rich vegetables can make it a healthier option while still preserving its iconic taste.
