Marion, I just tried this recipe earlier, for dinner. It's my first time making homemade char siu. My hard-core Chinese father was in awe. He NEVER compliments my cooking, but for this, he said the meat was not dry (albeit my not following your instructions by using tenderloins, they were the only kind I had) and tasted great. I forgot the 5-spice while marinating the pork, but made up for it with the baste. From us to you, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A DELICIOUS DINNER!

I'm missing 2 ingredients...and the meat 🤔...need to do some shopping!!!

I like seeing the ingredients while following along with the video without having to click on an extra link so here it is. 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) piece pork neck (also called boston butt or pork shoulder) ¼ cup hoisin sauce ¼ cup brown sugar ¼ cup Chinese Shaoxing wine* ¼ cup honey 3 tbsp light soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tsp sea salt ½ tsp Chinese 5-spice powder 3 garlic cloves, finely grated 1 tbsp beetroot powder*

Thanks for the list of ingredients. Brilliant.

Thank you!

Oooooooooooooooo

[@emzyatu905]

thank you this,how degrees need to roast the chicken? thank you!

[@wolfman011000]

We have been using this recipe for 4 years now and have now added 3 additions to the marinade, the first is a tablespoon of toasted seasame oil, the second is a teaspoon of white pepper, the third is a teaspoon of LKK chicken powder red label this the version with MSG, if you want to avoid MSG there is a version with a green label. We have tried pork neck, pork shoulder, pork leg and belly pork, each different all good. Normally we go with pork shoulder this is purely on price, but if pork belly is on sale we jump on it as we love the fatty juicey flavour that if done right melts in the mouth. Excellent easy recipe which we highly recommend, take care, God bless one and all.

[@karaalanareagan6889]

I just discovered this channel and ended up watching for two hours straight. I think you are fantastic. I have been a hardcore Food Network watcher for many years and learned things I had never heard before. The production value of your videos is expert, and you are really relatable. Really Great. Hope you take this as a compliment but you remind me a bit of Aarti Sequeira who has the same kind of enthusiasm for food. Would love to see you on one of the cooking channels one day.

[@aljogosselin]

I totally agree with Kara. I've just found you today and have been looking for someone like you for a while. I haven't tried any recipes yet but soon (I cant wait for Beef Noodles) they look brilliant. As far as i'm concerned you need to be on Food Network or Cooking Network. Cheers

[@benjaminluera4826]

Marion, love your enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing all your great recipes and energy !!

[@shortymcfox2251]

This was probably the best recipe yet I’ve made of your dishes along with your spicy Thai corn salad and sweet potato tater tots. Nothing was left at the dinner table tonight! Thank you for your wonderful recipes and I made Momma Noi’s fritters for dessert later. I can guarantee we’re all going to have to wobble to bed tonight but we’ll worth it❤️

[@phylisswigginton3726]

You have made me love cooking again in my retirement.

Thank you so much for sharing! So Excited to try this out! It’s so easy!

[@brandonerikson5698]

I want to thank you for taking the time to share these videos - I know this is an older one, but I've been lurking and learning. Asian cuisine is one of those things that I've always wanted to learn - and I love that you and your mother make it look so easy (which it surprisingly is!) Thanks and please continue these! After watching this - my next "try" is going to be your steamed buns (since this is in the filling.) Cheers from the US!

[@susanford2388]

I prepared this a while ago and my family loved it. So a great big thank you.

[@susanford2388]

I love your comment.

[@frinuk]

Just discovered your channel, very good content! I really like the fact that you explain why you are following certain steps instead of just doing it without any sort of explanation! Question about this recipe, that's quite a lot of pork for one serving, have you ever tried to freeze some leftover? And if so how did you bring it "back to life" from freezing? Thanks! And again, great channel! 😍

[@sensitiveskinlifestyle]

Heya I freeze char siu all the time, I freeze the cooled down pieces using cling wrap. And reheat it by microwaving it 30 secs at a time until its heated up (to avoid over cooking)!

[@M63Tod]

I heat up homemade brisket, corned beef and pastrami fairly often. I freeze in portions in a ziplock bag. Then just put the bag in sauce pan with water and let the water gently heat it. Comes out beautiful every time. I do let the zip part of the bag overhang the top of the pan just in case it opens. I don’t want water to get in.

[@tupoubrowne3964]

This is the best char siu pork recipe!! So tasty and i used pork belly 🤤🤤

[@michaelbrooks7096]

Marion - I finally did your char siu from start to finish - over 2 days of course. Wow - it's what Jamie would call "pukka" - it's so authentic, flavours delicious and the texture wonderful, a little chewy (which I love) - can't wait for dinner and to make char siu bao (your recipe of course). I couldn't find neck so used a whole sirloin which was about the size of the neck you used - perfect! Thanks, you're a star!

[@tikgambogi6426]

Thanks so much for the great recipe Marion. I simply used chicken thighs instead of pork and it turned out just perfectly delicious ! Wish I could show you the picture.

[@cindisounthonevat1825]

Made this for Thanksgiving and it was so juicy, tender and flavorful. There was none left! Thank you Marion. Amazing recipe.

[@scottgoodson5132]

I absolutely love this stuff. Nobody does pork like the Chinese. YUM! Just got back from Flushing, NY/Chinatown and brought 5 lbs of Char Siu home. It freezes pretty well, just let thaw and reheat gently. When I run out, I’m going to give this a shot, with belly or butt. My wife is Chinese, so she will have all the spices.

[@firstnamelastname9646]

scott goodson lucky you, she'd probably do it the authentic way too.

[@BDL090754]

Agreed PW. Marion has got calming easy to listen to manner, really like her style

Dear Marion, I have tried this recipe. My family love it. First attempt. Is Yummy 😋

As a complete amateur who has watched hours of videos on this subject, this is possibly one of the very best youtube videos on making very good and successful Chinese food.

I agree. She also does other Asian food and also Western food.

[@meatandcookies2674]

I made this yesterday using Kurobuta pork collar from Snake River Farms....It had to roast slightly longer than the recipe stated, but between dinner last night and lunch today, I finished 1 of the 3 pieces. I've really missed char siu during quarantine, and this totally hit the spot!

[@bigkiwial]

Its 02,19am, im now insanely hungry!! 😋

[@christinatolar4155]

I just made this today. I thought I had died. The marinade is everything I love about Asian flavors. It was deep and rich and should be bottled.

[@kathyax]

I just got married and I don’t have much kitchen utilities so I made up my own baking tray.. wish me luck🍀 ... love your recipes and your way to explain and the delicious that you make sound everything .. greeting from Mexico beautiful 💕💕💕

[@DIAMONDVALDEZ]

Thank you Marion. I mad this a second time and it came out better. Only this I could not find was the beetroot powder. Other than that my family enjoyed the dish. I'll be making chili oil next.

[@donaldsmith6908]

Amazon has it!

[@stephenyork7318]

You can get beetroot powder at health food stores

[@pw7635]

Look so delicious 😋😋😋😋

Gracias Marion, buena receta. Saludos de Perú.

[@kynpc4197]

Hi Marion Thank you for your recipe i made it for lunch this morning. It was so good but as i could not find beetroot powder i used the rice yeast powder.

[@TheLazyDutchGardener]

I just made this and it was amazing! I made enough to do the steamed buns tomorrow. Yay! 🎉

[@lidzlights8540]

Your my new cooking fren. I've always wanted to learn how to cook the proper Chinese food and I've found your chanel. So excited to learn and cook the proper Chinese way wahoo lez go 🙂👍

[@sraddha1411]

Hey Marion, this is an amazing recipe. I enjoyed the char siu at my South East Asian specialist restaurant, happened to come across this recipe and made a char siu for the first time! And was it better than the restaurant?? You bet! We polished off our dishes 😊 thanks.

[@tkthebear984]

I’m doing this one tonight, Marion! It smells phenomenal! My husband is making a stir fried rice with broccoli steaks caramelised. Let’s see!

[@thanghong6086]

I made this today and it was successed. Thanks for your recipe ❤ I used red yeast rice powder to colored the pork.

[@wipamuu]

Hi I am half Thai and half Greek as well this why I know many menu you cook

[@rowenacandelaria3512]

Hi Marion thank you for sharing it with us. May I ask at what temperature did you set your oven. Is it on bake or roast. Thank you.

I got all the ingredients to make this recipe tomorrow, can’t wait 😛

[@Marionskitchen]

[@MusicaErika]

Marion's Kitchen I love it and my husband too! thank you for sharing it. I had it with jasmine rice and broccolini. 😋

[@jammyamenyedor5070]

This is very good

[@wolfman011000]

The recipe works perfectly thank you for it. One thing i always keep on my table are acouple of versions of the sauce, minus the beet powder but cut with ketchup and the addition of pepper of your liking. About 60% ketchup to 40% sauce, taste add sugar/salt/pepper more ketchup/sauce to your liking. To spice it up i add gochujang, which is great on just about everything burgers/dogs/sandwiches even add some to spagol and drown chips. Once again thank you for the recipe take care and god bless.

[@mrscms831]

Drooling over here! I almost cant watch your videos on an empty stomach as I am immediately stark raving mad with hunger. Great videography, love the backdrop and your music choices.
