Char Siu (BBQ Pork)

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs Pork butt (shoulder), cut into long strips

• Marinade:

  • 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce

  • 2 tbsp Honey

  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine

  • 1 tsp Five-spice powder

  • 2 drops Red food coloring (optional, for traditional look)

Instructions:

1. Mix marinade. Coat pork strips and marinate overnight in the fridge.

2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place pork on a rack over a roasting pan with water in the bottom (to catch drips/steam).

3. Roast for 20 minutes.

4. Flip, brush with leftover marinade, and roast another 20 minutes.

5. Broil for 2–3 minutes to char the edges. Slice thinly.
