About Chinese roast pork

Chinese Roast Pork, also known as Char Siu, is a popular Cantonese-style delicacy made by marinating pork, typically pork shoulder or belly, in a flavorful mix of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, five-spice powder, and sometimes red fermented bean curd, which gives it a signature reddish hue. The meat is then roasted or grilled, resulting in a tender, juicy interior and a caramelized, slightly sticky exterior. While it's rich in protein and packed with bold, sweet-savory flavors, it can be high in sodium and sugar due to the marinade and glaze. The fat content varies depending on the cut of pork used. Often enjoyed in Chinese cuisine as part of rice dishes, noodle soups, or dim sum, Char Siu is a beloved treat but should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced meal for optimal nutrition.
