How to Make Cantonese Famous Char Siu, Quick and Simple Recipe, CiCi Li -Asian Home Cooking

Hi everyone! I re-uploaded this Cantonese Char Siu video again because the original video has some problem. (This video was filmed when I was 8 months pregnant with my baby girl. So I was a little chubby. Haha...) I hope that you enjoy it! :D
Cantonese Char Siu Recipe:
Ingredients
1 pound of pork butt
2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of water
Sauce
2 pieces of Chinese fermented red bean curd
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine
2 tablespoons of honey
4 tablespoons of sugar
a pinch of five-spice powder
a pinch of white pepper
1 clove of minced garlic
In a bowl, add 2 pieces of Chinese fermented red bean curd, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine, 2 tablespoons of honey, 4 tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of five-spice powder, a pinch of white pepper, 1 clove of minced garlic. Mix well.
In a big zip lock bag, add 1 pound of pork butt and the sauce. Marinate overnight in the fridge.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour the marinade sauce into a bowl. Place the pork on a wire rack and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove from oven, brush the remaining sauce over both sides. Place it back into the oven and bake for another 25 minutes. Take them out and brush honey water on it and bake for another 10 minutes.
Slice the char siu into bite size pieces.

Hi CiCi can yr sauce be use for Pork Rib was thinking of using yr sauce to season it and than fried possible?

[@CiCiLi]

Yep. That’s totally doable. Btw, I also have a char siu pork recipe here cicili.tv/chinese-bbq-pork-ribs/ 😀

[@sharonwilliams5560]

Hi Ci Ci - love your videos. I've been trying to make Char Siu well, and am confident in the cuts of pork I'm using, but I'm having trouble getting the same final flavor I get from my favorite Cantonese Restaurants. I notice you don't add Hoisin Sauce in your marinade. So many other recipes call for it and I've been adding about a T to mine. Could this be the reason I'm less than happy with my results? Should I just leave it out? The other parts of the recipe are very similar to yours, including the red bean curd I get from my Asian market.

[@CiCiLi]

Hi Sharon, thank you for the question! Hoisin sauce shouldn't change the taste of the final product that much. Everyone may make char siu sauce slightly differently. I have seen a chef adding peanut butter in his char siu marinade. It's odd, but that is his recipe. Also, Chinese restaurants might have a special type of oven for their char siu. That would also affect the taste. Have fun cooking and exploring! Best wishes!

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

Have you tried using char siu sauce with the marinade?

[@CiCiLi]

I always make my own marinade. It’s so much tastier. ☺️

[@smokyrene7093]

Hi CiCi, yes, indeed making the char siu again today hey jus checking can make more sauce like double the ingredients tht what I did how long can it be kept this way ?? Pls advice many tks ...

[@CiCiLi]

Thx for stopping by again! Yes, if you doubled the pork, you could double the marinade too.😊👍

[@smokyrene7093]

Also can I make the sauce in advance and keep it for like few weeks also? We had make the roast pork and chia siu yesterday and its our favourite because outside roast pork v salt we love yr recipe ... thank god ... everytime when we think of either we think of YOU!! GB u and yr family... Amen.
