Char Siu Pork (Chinese BBQ Pork)

Sticky, crimson red Char Siu Pork – just like you get from the Chinese Barbecue meat shops! Also called Chinese BBQ Pork, it’s finger licking good and you’re going to be shocked how easy it is to make the Char Siu sauce that’s used to marinade the pork.

Char Siu Pork – Chinese BBQ Pork

No trip to Chinatown is complete without taking home a container of Chinese BBQ pork. And I am yet to manage the drive all the way home without sneaking in a little taste test (or two…or three).

The darn traffic lights! If they were GREEN all the way home, then I wouldn’t have a chance to do that!

OK, that’s a blatant lie. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and we both know I would be hooning over the Harbour Bridge, holding the steering wheel with one hand and rummaging around in the plastic carry bag with the other, blindly trying to feel my way to the barbecue pork container.😂

An Authentic Char Siu Pork recipe

There are two things in this recipe that I do differently to traditional Char Siu to make this easier but still yield an excellent end result that tastes like store bought:

  1. Cooked in the oven instead of over coals; and

  2. Red food colouring to stain the pork red.

Authentic Char Siu gets the red colour from a speciality ingredient called fermented red bean curds which is red. It’s calls for a trip to the Asian store and you’ll have to hunt deep into the dark corners to find it

While it makes the pork red, the small amount used doesn’t add any flavour. And because I have no other use for red bean curds, I started making it using red food colouring instead and found the end result was exactly the same both in flavour and visual.

So I stuck with it!

What goes in Char Siu Sauce

Here’s what you need for the Char Siu Sauce which is used to marinade the pork – all things you can get from everyday grocery stores:

What goes in Char Siu Sauce for Char Siu Pork - Chinese BBQ Pork
  • Pork – the best pork for Char Siu is pork scotch fillet. See next section for more information;

  • Sugar – brown sugar is best for lovely caramel flavours in the marinade. But even white sugar is fine;

  • Soy sauces – I like to use light and all purpose soy sauce for the best flavour balance, but you can just use just one of these. Do not use dark soy sauce, it’s way too strong. Read more about different soy sauces here;

  • Chinese five spice – pre mixed store bought blend, very common these days. Sold in the spice section fo everyday supermarkets and doesn’t cost anymore than other spices;

  • Hoisin – common Chinese sauce, found in the Asian section. It’s sweet, savoury and has a hint of Five Spice Powder;

  • Red food colouring – as discussed above, this is used to stain the pork red; and

  • Honey – this is added to the marinade to turn it into a basting sauce. It makes the pork extra shiny and caramelised which is exactly what we want!


Best pork for Char Siu

I finally managed to get a Chinese barbecue shop to tell me what cut of meat they use. Pork scotch fillet!! Also known as Pork Neck, Pork Collar or Pork Neck Collar, this is an excellent cut of pork which is ideal for both quick cooking (such as pan seared pork chops) and slow cooking (such as this Slow Roasted Brown Sugar Garlic Butter Pork).

Cutting pork for Char Siu Pork - Chinese BBQ Pork
Pork scotch roast can be cut either horizontally into two thinner “steaks” or vertically to form thicker pieces. Either way works!

Char Siu Pork is also terrific made with pork shoulder – I’d say just as good. Some people like to make it with pork belly but I find it too fatty for my taste.

I used to use pork tenderloin which is much leaner so you do need to be careful about overcooking, whilst still achieving that caramelisation – cook times for this cut are in the recipe notes.

Scotch fillet and shoulder are much easier to cook with – they require longer cook time to make the meat juicy which means incredible caramelisation which is what we WANT!

That sight makes me weak in the knees, every. Single. Time. 😂

How to make Char Siu Pork

Char Siu is simple to make, it just calls for patience to let the pork marinade to infuse with flavour and make the pork stained red! At least 24 hours, but 48 hours is even better.

How to make Char Siu Pork - Chinese BBQ Pork

Be sure to baste generously, slathering / dabbing the marinade on – it’s the key to get a really great sticky surface!

How to serve Chinese BBQ Pork

As for how to serve it, here’s a very typical meal set served at Chinese BBQ shops: slices of pork over rice with a side of steamed greens with sauce (this Steamed Chinese Greens with Oyster Sauce is similar), as pictured above. This is a Chinese BBQ Shop takeout favourite – “BBQ Pork Lunch!”

Dishes made using Chinese BBQ Pork

Char Siu Pork is also used in a handful of Chinese dishes, such as

  • Chinese Steamed Pork Buns – big fluffy white buns filled with BBQ pork

  • Singapore Noodles

  • Fried Rice – Char Siu is often in “special fried rice” in place of Chinese sausage or bacon

In addition, sometimes you see it as a protein option for Chinese Noodle Soup (slices of Char Siu are placed on top) and I’ve also seen it in Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwich) – it’s AMAZING!!

Slice of Char Siu Pork served over rice

This Char Siu Pork recipe makes quite a lot because the standard size of pork scotch fillet roasts is around 1.2 – 1.5kg/2.4-3lb.

But you’ll thank me. Just one bite, and you’ll be thanking me profusely for making this a big-batch recipe. 😜 – Nagi xx

Recipe video above. Your favourite Chinese barbecue pork made at home! Slow cooked so it's juicy on the inside with the most incredible sticky glaze, this is finger licking' good! Chicken version here.

Ingredients

Marinade

  • 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar (white also ok)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce , or all purpose soy (Note 1)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce , just all purpose (or more light soy) (Note 1)
  • 1 tsp Chinese five spice powder (Note 2)
  • 1 tbsp oil (vegetable or canola) (Note 3)
  • 2 tsp red food colouring , optional (Note 4)

Cooking:

  • 1.2 – 1.5kg / 2.4 – 3lb pork scotch fillet (aka collar neck, pork neck) OR pork shoulder (Note 5)
  • 2 tbsp Extra Honey

Instructions

Marinade pork:

  • Cut pork in half to make two long strips. (Note 5)
  • Mix Marinade ingredients in a bowl.
  • Place the pork and Marinade in a stain proof container or ziplock bag. Marinate 24 to 48 hours in the fridge (3 hours is the bare minimum).

To Roast:

  • Preheat oven to 160C/320F.
  • Line a tray with foil and place a rack on top (recommended but not critical).
  • Remove pork from the marinade, save Marinade. Place pork on rack.
  • Roast for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour reserved marinade in a saucepan. Mix Extra Honey into marinade. Bring to simmer over medium high and cook for 2 minutes until syrupy. Remove from heat.
  • Remove pork from oven. Dab marinade all over, then turn. Baste then roast for a further 30 minutes.
  • Remove pork from oven. Brush with marinade again, then turn, brush with marinade and roast for a further 20 minutes. If charring too quickly, cover with foil.
  • Baste again on surface then bake for a further 10 minutes until caramelised and sticky. Meat should be tender but not falling apart, like with pulled pork. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve with rice and steamed Chinese greens. See notes for more uses!

Recipe Notes:

1. Soy Sauce – The light soy sauce adds a touch more salt to the marinade, the balance I like. But it’s fine to use all light soy sauce, or all ordinary soy sauce. Do not use dark soy sauce (flavour is too intense). More on different soy sauces here, and when you can substitute, when you can’t.
2. Chinese five spice powder (a mix of spices) – find it in the herb and spice section of supermarkets and it isn’t any more expensive than other spices, very common nowadays. You can substitute the Chinese five spice powder with 1 tbsp extra hoisin sauce BUT you should reduce the sugar to 1 tsp, otherwise it will be too sweet.
3. Oil – Or other neutral flavoured oil.
4. Red food colouring – to make the pork red, like you get at the Chinese barbecue shop. This is optional. Authentic Char Siu uses red bean curd for colouring and a touch of flavour – it can be found at Asian stores, use about 2 tbsp of the liquid and no red food colouring.
I use the marinade in this recipe more frequently than the authentic version because I can get all the ingredients at the supermarket and it has a slightly more intense flavour – makes up for absence of charcoal in this home version.
5. Pork – I used to make this with pork tenderloin (Note 6) but I’ve moved to scotch fillet roast (pictured in post) and pork shoulder because they are ideal for longer cooking to get amazing caramelisation and the pork is incredibly juicy inside. Scotch fillet is also known as Pork Neck, Pork Collar or Pork Neck Collar. This is what Chinese BBQ shops in Australia use.
Pork shoulder is also ideal – beautifully juicy. If using pork shoulder, using boneless, skinless and trim off most of the thick layer of fat on the surface. Then cut into long thin pieces, like pictured in post with the scotch fillet. The meat will buckle and twist more when cooked because the meat is more sinewy. Flavour is excellent!
Some people also make this using pork belly but I find that too oily for my taste for this particular recipe.
Cutting pork – doesn’t really matter which way you cut it, horizontal or straight down the middle (see in post for photos). If you have a thick piece of pork, cut in half horizontally to make two long, flat, thin pieces. If it’s not that thick, just cut it straight down the middle
6. PORK TENDERLOIN cooking directions (photo here of how it looks): Roast at 180C/350F for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145 – 160F/ 65 – 70C. Around halfway through roasting, baste generously with the reserved Marinade. Sort of dab it on so you get as much Marinade on the pork as possible – this is key for getting the thick, glossy glaze. Then flick to broiler/grill on high and broil for a few minutes until surface is charred and glossy, basting once or twice.
7.  Leftovers – I continue to eat it for days, but also freeze excess. Char Siu is also used in Singapore Noodles, Chinese Fried Rice (also see Egg Fried Rice) and is also terrific served on Chinese Noodle Soup.
8. Nutrition per serving assuming 6 servings. This is overstated because it doesn’t take into account the fat that is rendered out when cooking.

Life of Dozer

This Dozer update was from when I originally published this post in 2018 – when he tore his ACL and had to go in for knee surgery followed by months of recovery – happy to report he recovered 100% perfectly!

Dozer went in for his ACL surgery this morning. He has to stay overnight, so this afternoon I headed over to the vet to drop off his favourite toy and a whole bunch of food for the wonderful team at Mona Vale Veterinary Clinic. #Shameless

Dozer the golden retriever going in for ACL surgery

And look!!! Not 30 minutes ago, the vet called to assure me he’s doing just fine and sent me this photo. ❤ Post surgery sleepy!

    I can’t believe you made this at home! Well, I can, but you know what I mean – looks so good!
    This reminds me so much of my visit to Sydney. The hubs and I loved China town so much that we grabbed a takeaway from there on our way to the airport. We sat outside the airport in the sun pulling apart bits of something very similar to this, with sticky stuff all over our fingers (and a bit on our cases, I dare say!)
    Mmmm … would love to recreate at home!

    Hi Nagi! I LOVE Chinese BBQ! We went to Toronto on our honeymoon (many years ago) and a Chinese festival was happening. I was in Heaven! I didn’t even know what some of the stuff was, it just looked so good and it was! Since I don’t speak Chinese, I would point at what I wanted and hold up how many fingers to indicate how much and the reply was however many fingers for however many dollars. It was fabulous! I will be making this in the near future!

    Char Siu is my kid’s absolute favorite Chinese food. Oh, my…., your glaze looks even evil that tempts my soul. I, too, eat too much meat these days, but with this recipe? Who can resist?
    I wonder if the glaze would work with pork ribs.

      I make this with chicken all the time! With pork ribs, the only thing I wonder is how to deal with the longer cooking time. Do you think if the glaze was watered down then the ribs were cooked IN it, by the end of the cooking time it reduces to a thick glaze?? Would need lots more of it too, much more surface area to cover 🙂 SO yummy though!

      Stacey, I know, I’ve been blogging WAY too much meat lately!! I am determined to cut back a bit 🙂 I just saw your comment on the pork!! So excited that you liked it! Your poor poor non-pork eating hubby…. 🙂 But YES this is awesome with chicken too! Chicken thigh in particular, the marinade clings really well to it and becomes gorgeously sticky. PS The BBQ pork freezes REALLY well. I slice it then freeze in bags, then throw it into omelettes, fried rice, on noodle soups etc 🙂

    I had the visual of you on the Harbour Bridge and was laughing out loud. Been there myself… What’s worse is pretending you weren’t stuffing your face as you pass another car driver who is looking at you only to find a schmear on your chin or cheek after you look at yourself at the next stop light in the rear view mirror! Ha!

    This looks and sound so good. I have 2 pork belly recipes coming soon and one is similar here.
