Char Siu (100 YEAR OLD RECIPE!!) | AUTHENTIC | BETTER than Chinese Shops and Restauants

This is a delicious Chinese red roast pork that you see hanging in the windows of Chinatown, dripping with juices and ready to cut. The ingredients are simple and once you taste it, you will never need to buy this expensive meat. This recipe has been made by generations of Chinese and this is my mother's version. You can make this too!

What a blessing to have people like you that share their recipes, Some people die and take their recipes with them to their graves and no one else gets to enjoy the beautiful flavors of there recipes ,but you teach and you share with an open heart, much aloha to you thank you for your kindness.

[@HawaiisPickleLady]

You're so welcome. I've known many people who refuse to teach me but somehow I figure most things out.

What's more amazing is that the recipe originated from her grandmother, whose steady hand is holding the camera. :)

You can put the meat and marinade in a ziploc and freeze until ready to bake. I also freeze extra cooked ones so I can have it for later.

[@number19video]

Costco sells country style spareribs boneless which is pork shoulder sliced. A step saver. This recipe rocks on my Rec Tec pellet cooker. I put the extra marinade in a small pan and let it cook alongside the meat to prevent raw contamination. So good! Thanks for the recipe Lady of Pickles! My word. Yum!

[@HawaiisPickleLady]

What is Rec Tec pellet cooker?

[@number19video]

@@HawaiisPickleLady The Rec Tec is a computer controlled wood pellet burning grill/smoker. The wood fire adds a wonderful flavor and mild smokiness to the Char Siu. I really enjoyed your recipe and get compliments on the meat by my guests. Thank you.
