Chinese Barbecue Pork, also known as Char Siu, is a flavorful dish originating from Cantonese cuisine. It features tender pork, typically pork shoulder or loin, marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, five-spice powder, and red fermented bean curd, which gives it its signature reddish hue. The pork is roasted until caramelized, creating a sweet and savory glaze. Nutritionally, Char Siu is rich in protein, but it can be high in sodium and sugars due to the marinade. It’s best consumed as part of a balanced meal with steamed vegetables or rice. While the dish is heartier in calories due to the fatty cuts often used and the sweetened glaze, moderation and pairing it with nutrient-dense sides can make it a satisfying treat without overindulgence.
