About Charsiew
Charsiew, also known as Chinese BBQ pork, is a flavorful Cantonese dish with roots in traditional Chinese cuisine. Made by marinating strips of pork in a mixture of soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder, and sometimes red food coloring for its signature vibrant hue, the meat is then roasted to achieve a tender texture and caramelized glaze. Charsiew is rich in protein and contains beneficial nutrients like iron and B vitamins due to its pork base. However, it can be high in sugar, sodium, and fat, especially because of the sweet marinade and fatty cuts of pork typically used. Consuming charsiew in moderation can be part of a balanced diet, but pairing it with nutrient-rich vegetables or whole grains is recommended to offset these less healthy aspects.
