Char siu, aka Chinese bbq roasted pork, sometimes spelled as char siew or char suit, is the kind of dish that brings happiness and satisfaction, especially the moment when you take it out of the oven. The sizzling meat is bursting with deliciousness, filling your home with the mouthwatering aroma of roasted meat and sweet caramelized honey.

You will be shocked how easy it is to make char siu at home. Just marinate the meat overnight and roast it in the oven the next day. Since I first tackled this recipe five years ago, I have picked up a lot of insider tips and tricks, so this upgraded recipe guarantees restaurant-quality results.
