Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork)
Chinese char sui pork is easy to make at home on your grill with pork tenderloin and a rich and sticky Cantonese marinade that also acts as a glaze.
Ingredients
Method
- Gather all ingredients.
- Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red bean curd, and five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice each pork tenderloin lengthwise into 1 ½- to 2-inch-thick strips. Place pork strips in a large, resealable plastic bag.
- Pour marinade into the bag with the pork. Squeeze air from the bag, seal, and turn the bag a few times until pork is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
- When ready to cook, preheat a charcoal grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Set aside the remaining marinade for basting.
- Rake the hot coals into two equal piles on opposite sides of the charcoal grate. Add a small container of water to the grate. Place pork strips in the center of the grate for indirect cooking.
- Cook pork over indirect heat, turning regularly and basting as desired, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 30 minutes or longer.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
