Recipe Summary Char Siu (Chinese Bbq Pork)

"Char siu" literally means "fork roast" - "char" being "fork" (both noun and verb) and "siu" being "roast" - after the traditional cooking method for the dish: long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire. This is best cooked over charcoal, but it's important to cook with indirect heat.

Ingredients | Arctic Char Fish Cooked

2 pork tenderloins

½ cup soy sauce

⅓ cup honey

⅓ cup ketchup

⅓ cup brown sugar

¼ cup Chinese rice wine

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

½ teaspoon red food coloring (Optional)

1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder (Optional)

Directions

Cut pork with the grain into strips 1 1/2- to 2-inches long; put into a large resealable plastic bag.

Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red food coloring or red bean curd (see Cook's Note), and Chinese five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the marinade into the bag with the pork, squeeze air from the bag, and seal. Turn bag a few times to coat all pork pieces in marinade.

Marinate pork in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Discard remaining marinade.

Cook pork on preheated grill for 20 minutes. Put a small container of water onto the grill and continue cooking, turning the pork regularly, until cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

If you can find red bean curd, use 2 tablespoons in place of the red food coloring.
