About Char siu pork
Char Siu Pork is a popular dish rooted in Chinese Cantonese cuisine, known for its vibrant red hue and savory-sweet flavor. The dish features strips of pork marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, Chinese five-spice powder, and sometimes red fermented bean curd for color. Traditionally cooked over open flames or roasted, the pork develops caramelized edges and a tender, juicy texture. While Char Siu is rich in protein thanks to the pork, its marinade can be high in sugar and sodium, making moderation key. Nutritionally, lean cuts like pork loin tend to be a healthier choice than fattier options like pork belly. Char Siu is often served with rice or noodles, pairing it with vegetables helps balance the meal. Its bold flavors and versatility make it a cherished staple of Cantonese barbecue dishes worldwide.
