Pork Char Siu is a Cantonese- style Pork roast marinated with flavorful sauces from the Asian kitchen and usually roasted slowly on a barbeque. The slow roasting method makes the meat so soft that it falls off the bone and gives the pork its caramelized color. Usually served with the -left-over marinade as sauce or can also be chopped into small pieces and used in Fried-rice, Ramen or any other kind of Sauce-based dishes.

Whenever I entered any Asian restaurant in the US, I would always see a very appealing, red, sticky, Bbq'd pork and I would instantly order that. I wouldn't know what it was called back then so I always called it ' Bbq Pork'. Recently while I was looking for Pork recipes to try, I discovered that it was called 'Pork Char Siu' and it can be made relatively easily in a home-based oven. I quickly ran over to my nearest Asian grocery store and gathered all the required ingredients.
This recipe is made with a very simple technique and yet the flavor is something I'm sure you'll love.
