About Charsiu
Charsiu, or Chinese BBQ pork, is a popular dish in Cantonese cuisine known for its sweet, savory, and smoky flavor profile. Traditionally made with cuts like pork loin, belly, or shoulder, the meat is marinated in a mixture of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, five-spice powder, rice wine, and red bean paste, giving it its signature reddish glaze. Typically roasted or grilled, the result is a tender, caramelized meat with a sticky exterior. Nutritionally, charsiu is high in protein due to its pork base. However, it can also be calorie-dense, with sugars contributing to the marinade’s sweetness and fat content varying based on the cut of pork used. Sodium levels can be significant due to the soy sauce and other seasonings, so mindful portions are recommended. With its bold flavor and protein content, charsiu can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, especially if paired with vegetables and whole grains.
