Char Siu Chinese BBQ Pork (叉燒)
Char siu (Chinese character 叉燒) is a Chinese style barbecue pork, and classified as a type of siu mei (燒味) in cantonese means roasted meat. Also, in Chinese literally char siu means “fork roasted”. Traditionally, Chinese BBQ pork char siu is skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire. This recipe I am going to share is a tasty homemade baked Chinese BBQ pork recipe. Not only the char siu pork is tender, but also moist.
In addition, most people like to use pork loin, belly, butt or shoulder to make char siu. Then, the next question is how to choose pork for char siu? In fact, it depends on how leaner of char siu you want. Personally, I like to use pork loin boneless country style ribs because it is easier to handle and leaner. Besides, the best way to pick pork is with some fat because a completely lean pork doesn’t taste as good. Moreover, temperature and baking time are very important for a tender and moist BBQ pork. I hope you enjoy this homemdae Chinese BBQ pork recipe.
