About Char siu
Char Siu, a staple of Cantonese cuisine, is a flavorful roasted pork dish known for its distinctive reddish glaze. This dish is typically made using cuts like pork shoulder or belly, marinated in a blend of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, five-spice powder, and fermented bean paste, which creates its signature sweetness and umami flavor. Traditionally cooked over open flames or in ovens for a slightly charred finish, Char Siu is rich in protein but also high in sugars and sodium due to its marinade. While the pork provides essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, the sauce can contribute to higher calorie content and should be consumed in moderation for a balanced diet. Often enjoyed as part of noodle dishes or rice plates, Char Siu’s irresistible taste makes it a favorite, but pairing it with steamed vegetables can enhance its nutritional profile.
