Chinese BBQ Pork, also known as Char Siu, is a popular dish from Cantonese cuisine. This flavorful dish features boneless cuts of pork, typically pork shoulder or tenderloin, marinated in a blend of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, five-spice powder, and Shaoxing wine, often infused with red food coloring for its signature appearance. The pork is roasted until caramelized, creating a sticky, sweet, and savory glaze. While Char Siu is high in protein and rich in flavor, it can also be high in sodium and sugar due to the marinade. Pairing it with nutrient-dense side dishes like steamed vegetables can help balance its rich profile. Though traditionally enjoyed as part of a larger meal, enjoying it in moderation ensures you capture its delicious essence without overindulging in its less healthy components.
