About Char siu glaze
Char Siu glaze is a flavorful Chinese barbecue sauce traditionally used in Cantonese cuisine to coat roasted pork. Its base typically includes honey or maltose, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and Chinese five-spice powder, creating a balance of sweetness, umami, and aromatic spice. Ingredients like garlic, ginger, and sesame oil may be added for depth. While the glaze imparts a savory caramelized crust, its sugar content is relatively high, adding to its deliciously sticky texture but posing a limitation for those seeking low-sugar options. Similarly, the sodium content from soy and hoisin sauces can be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. On the healthier side, the glaze contains natural antioxidants from spices like star anise, cinnamon, and cloves. Pairing Char Siu with vegetables or leaner proteins can optimize its nutritional profile while enjoying its rich, iconic flavor.
