Char Siu is a classic Cantonese BBQ pork dish known for its glossy red exterior and sweet, savory flavor. The pork is marinated in a mixture of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, and five-spice powder, then roasted until caramelized and tender.
For authentic red color, use red fermented bean curd or a few drops of red food coloring in the marinade. For best results, marinate overnight.
