Char Siu Pork

Char Siu Pork

Glossy red pieces of char siu pork hanging in the window of a barbeque restaurant are one of the iconic sights of Chinatowns around the world, and the delicious sweet, sticky marinade makes this one of the all-time favourite dishes of Chinese cuisine. The meat can be thinly sliced and served hot with rice, or even cold as a filling for steamed buns or sandwiches!
